I have planted Burpee zucchini, sweet basil, dwarf sunflowers, teddy bear sunflowers, and thumbelina carrots from seed in the garden. I also planted one Sweet 100 Plus tomato plant and a bell pepper plant as well. Here you can see the progression in pictures:

May 2007:
The tomato and pepper plants are in the ground and the first sunflowers are starting to grow.

June 2007:
I have only one tomato on my plant, but there is one! The pepper plant is growing well and producing two peppers. The beginnings of the zucchini plants are showing. The basil is growing!

July 2007:
I cannot believe what a difference a month makes in a garden! The sunflowers, basil, and zucchini are doing very well. I am getting at least a couple of zucchini a day from just two plants. You can’t see them well in the picture, but the plot that looks empty actually has carrots growing. I have had one tomato and it was beautiful! A bird came and ate it! Hahaha! The tomato plant and pepper plant have stopped producing including blossoms. I figure it is because it is so HOT outside….

More to come…..
