Tomatoes today

So, I noticed today that there are some actual tomatoes on our plants. And lots of flowers.

Lima beans are flowering, and I noticed a few pods.

Cayenne peppers have small peppers (approximately 1"-3" long).

Corn is being eaten by caterpillars or slugs or something, bah!

Watermelon is too shaded by the large-ass tomato plants. Note to self: do not plant tomato plants IN FRONT of everything else.

Also, large rain storm over labor day weekend--probably 3" over 3 days. Poor soaking backyard garden...

A few Basil plants have survived in the back yard, and a few cantaloupes. The back yard garden is obviously much less protected than the front yard garden, so the 3" of rain pretty much washed away all the mulch. I brought home my basil plant from work because it was looking like it wasn't getting enough sun and Ross gave me some pumpkin seedlings that he dug up from his garden. Most of those didn't survive the weekend because of the shock of being dug up.
