I keep waiting for my garden to become blase or boring, but every day I got out and look and something fascinates me. Today I found that the pumpkin flowers have opened. They've been forming for several days now and this morning they were wide open and the bees were buzzing! I am eagerly awaiting pumpkins.
I'm a tad worried about the carrots though. I don't think I thinned them enough and may not get the abundant supply the greens would lead me to believe. It's hard to pull out perfectly good, healthy looking plants! I want lots of carrots, but I realize that perhaps sometimes less is more :) A good lesson to learn in gardening. Another lesson... better support for the peas!
I also replanted the tomato plant yesterday, from the pot to the garden. The plant has little green tomatoes on it, but it clearly wasn't thriving and I had a big open area where the cukes decided not to grow, so I figured it was worth a shot. The move seems to have helped and the plant is looking better already.
