How does my garden grow?

Very well indeed. Nothing else has died since I replanted, and everything is taking off and growing so fast. Hopefully we will have more "fruit" soon.

This one of our watermelon plants. We have four (three doing really well) and looking great. The vines can get kind of crazy so hopefully they won't interfere with the squash and zucchini plant close by (which also grows crazily).










This is my first plant to actually bear fruit. It is one of my four hot banana peppers. I think they need to be about 4-5" long and 1-2" wide before picking so I have a bit to before harvesting, but as soon as I do I'll post my recipe for it.









This is a picture of one zucchini and one tomato plant. They are growing so fast. I need to tie up my tomato plants soon but I am trying to wait as long as possible so I don't have to retie later.










These last two pitures are my herbs. the cilantro didn't make it--not sure why but oh well. I do have some great spearmint (first pic) and chives and curly parsley. I made a fabulous melted herb butter tonight using my chives and parsley. Anyways, I love my garden; it is flourishing and looks better than I ever thought it could!!
