What's Going On In Our Garden

Our rain barrel plants are doing great! 

Tomatoes are still going strong. Can't wait until they all start turning.
A few of our many many tomatoes!
Sweet potatoes are doing well it seems that bunnies have left them alone.
Oxheart tomato, these seeds were from an old Italian guy my family knew. We started planting them and saving seeds to keep them going.

Our cantaloupes are getting big! We have about 3-4 nice ones.
All our sunflowers are getting tall and are about to flower.
This is where our potatoes came from and we also planted a second crop in half of this area. The rest will be for other plants we can find.

Cucumbers are really climbing!!
Our new pepper plants seem to have taken well.

Watermelon seeds we just kind of planted not thinking we would get them to come up!
Still getting broccoli pretty frequently!
Our corn is doing good, but they are starting to get the stink bugs! :(
More corn!
Tomatillos are doing great!
Dill is finally going to seed. Its as tall as our coop!
