Lots of pics from the last week or so - finally getting around to posting them...
This pepper picture was taken a short while back. It's looking much bigger now!
Beautiful rosemary and thyme!
The annuals on the patio table... I love the smell of the sweet alyssum (the white flowers).
This tomato is Ildi - and from the looks of it, the dozens of flowers and baby tomatoes on each stem are not unrealistic. Yipes! Hope my friends and coworkers like small yellow tomatoes!
These are green zebras. Sure, they're also green when ripe, but the color will get a little more yellowy. They're definitely not soft enough yet - trust me, I give 'em just a little squeeze every week! Aren't they beautiful?
I don't recall which these are (free Wayahead seed packet?), but it looks like I'm gonna have a lot of them!
These are the black krims. The top one here has beautiful striping on it - will need to get a better picture. They have darker shoulders, even while in this early green stage. Seems like they're all growing upside down (I think I adjusted the plant before taking this picture)
Here's a flock of tomato plants, pepper plants, and other growies and herbs... Looks like a real crowded mess, but since I didn't get to put the cages in the tomatoes before they got too overwhelming, there's a lot of support structure in this mess. Probably also means the tomatoes aren't producing as much as they could've if they were all up in cages, but oh well - next year...
Pretty sure these are my rumbo pumpkins - the last two seedlings I had, and finally potted up a couple weeks ago. Friends at work are really enjoying watching how fast these things can grow at their own homes!
The first green beans (Maxibels I believe) that I planted. I don't expect we'll get much out of them. The ones I planted in the garden a week and a half ago are starting to come up here and there - wondering if I should add more seeds to really fill it out.
Not sure what this guy is - I'm guessing either a Howden pumpkin or a One Too Many pumpkin. Looks like it's ready to strangle the next person who walks by!
Swiss chard - I believe these are all something like orange creamscicle. Can't wait to see what they look like!
Edamame - never grown 'em before - the new leaves are looking a little yellow - not sure if this is a nutrient issue (I fertilize lightly once a week), or a trait of the plant.
With all these tomatoes, I better start stocking up on white bread, bacon and lettuce, eh!? MMMM!!

Jeph, spare a thought to your poor, gardenless friends in Illinois and send tomatoes our way. It will only help you with the excess crop, you know.
Yummy heirlooms!
Look great!
