Grow grow grow!

The garden is growing like crazy! Most of it, anyway. And even my seed plants are coming up well. I put cages on the tomatoes this week because they are getting so big. I dont have to stake the peppers yet though. I forgot to mention in my earlier posts that I fertilized the garden with Osmocote 14-14-14. I wanted to keep it simple. I am currently doing a bit of research on natural fertilizing during the growing season, as well as pest control in the event that I need it. Anyway, here are photos of the tomato garden and the pepper garden!

And here are a couple of detail shots- the first one is the basil- I actually almost pulled these as weeds but as I started to pull one of the little buds the basil aroma was amazing, so I carefully shoved it back into the dirt. Thankfully there are several coming through, so no harm done. And the second shot is of my squash- I cant believe how big the Honeybear is getting! The Butternut is getting large too, especially considering I planted it from seed. Yay for seeds!

And then.. there is this. I dont know what it is. Is it parsley? I dont think I planted parsley in this location! Is it a weed??? I am going to give it another week and see if I can figure it out. I will try to take better photos next week with my good camera, so far everything has been taken with my cell phone. Yikes!
