Vegetable Garden Update

We came back from a week of vacation and found that our vegetables had been doing well so far. They were growing so well, I had to snip flowers and "suckers." We have been blessed with rain in the past weeks.

Eggplants, peppers and tomatoes
Already some flowers on tomato plants
Mint

I transplanted this mint from the jungle in our backyard to this little planter a few weeks ago. I just pulled a few plants out the yard and planted in a pot with fresh soil. They didn't look like they were going to make it then, but they look thriving right now. The roots must have been pretty hearty.

Shiso leaves, still tiny!
Shiso leaves are still tiny, but they are starting to take the shape of shiso leaves. Gotta protect them from critters until they get a chance to grow bigger.

Shishito peppers
Smells so good!

Kona loves sniffing fresh-cut grass. Me, too.

Another raised garden bed ready for more vegetables!

We are thinking about planting okra for this smaller garden bed. Okra is easy to grow, almost no care required! Just the kind of vegetable I like!
