Hey Steemit friends,

I did a little work in the garden today and wanted to give you all an update.

My squash plants are actually putting on their fruit, albeit small at this point. I bet I'll be harvesting soon.

Lots of the bush beans (green beans) have germinated.

The indeterminate tomatoes are coming along. I've strung up several that have gotten large enough, and I'll have to keep an eye on them this week, I may need to string them all up shortly.

The cucumbers that I put out as seed have germinated.

The zucchini plants are growing male flowers, so they are doing great so far

I've been harvesting leaves off of the romaine lettuce, and it seems to be doing well

Wow!

I'm excited too!

I have to say this is one of the most impressive Mittleider gardens I've seen to date. It looks awesome.

Hey I really appreciate it, especially since I've seen a lot of excellent Mittleider gardens. I'm still in construction mode really, I've got 2 more beds to get into production. At the end I'll have 8 of the 4'x30' beds. It will be much easier when that's done.

Love it. Can't wait to see more updates. :)

Hey Grace, I appreciate the compliment! Thanks for stopping by!!!

Looking good Chris! I can finally join in on the gardening fun and get stuff started here in the great white north!

Awesome!!

Wow!! I love your setup so much!! So much vertical space! Your soil looks awesome too! Jealous! haha
