Summer Veggie Gardening

I haven't been very active in my garden of late, mostly just maintenance -- lawn-mowing because we got so much rain, weed-pulling because we got so much rain, vine- and hedge-hacking because we got so much rain -- but I have started getting some of my summer veggie garden planted.

So far, I have planted:

• Zucchini -- I planted dark green and yellow, two of each, which are already putting on abundant growth. I planted 4 seeds from last year's seeds and all 4 came up.
• Tomato -- I have seeded (a little late) some Super Sweet 100 (cherry-type), plus I have a donated Brandywine. The Brandywine is already transplanted into one of those upside-down hanging planters. The SS100 will be transplanted into another style of upside-down hanging planter as soon as it's ready for transplant.
• Beans -- This year I found a source for pole-type wax beans. These are just like the Kentucky Wonder (green) pole beans except that the pods are yellow (and much easier to find on the stem).
• Cucumber -- The seeds are a little old (from 2008), so I've sown them rather thickly. But I'll have to be diligent in thinning them out. Last year's harvest of two 6-packs planted in root-knot nematode soil was WAY more than any three people could handle. 

Maybe today I'll get out there and plant some Tall Top Beets for the beet greens this summer.
