Garden update

It's hard to believe that just a month ago, the garden looked like this.

This is how it looked a week ago.

And here it is today!

It's turning it to a jungle!  I think I need to prune the tomatoes a bit.  Any advice on that?  Is it okay to cut off that first big leafy shoot that doesn't produce any flowers, or is that a bad idea.  I seem to remember reading about that once.  I've also heard that you should prune indeterminates to just two main shoots, but I haven't done that yet.  The summer squash are blooming, as are the lemon cucumbers.  I'm finding that it's hard to get a good picture of anything with them all packed in there like this.  They seemed so spread out a month ago.

I can't wait to get more than salad out of here.  I see lots of little green tomatoes and little baby squash.  One thing for sure, gardening tries to teach patience!

    Looks like it's coming along nicely. I just recently bought an ebook by Jonathan White. It is a nice guide to keeping a year round garden going in a small space. It has lots of neat ideas you might be able to use.You might like to look it over.Food4Wealth by Jonathan White.

    Sounds great Sue! Sharon, I'm very worried about bugs. Grasshoppers mostly. I saw many of them last fall when we went for walks. In Wyoming, we don't get many pests. It's just too cold. :)

    Just my own common sense, but I'd prune off the leaves that have no blossoms. Lookin' good!
