Tomato - 2

My poor little tomato plant doesn't seem to be doing to well. A branch died off and the tomato turned red (well that part is good) but it didn't get much larger then it had been. I'm hoping the transplant was just rough on it... after all, it took the other one a while to come back. 

It's still alive, by the way, and has even gotten a total of 3 flowers on it now. The first one died. The second one just fell off. Like the stem even. It was weird. We'll see what the third one does. 

Cucumber - 5

My two cucumber plants are still doing really well. They are growing at the same pace and stand strong and tall... well sort of. Taller then they were. ;) Hopefully we start seeing some flowers on them in a week! 

Romaine Lettuce - 2

I should have updated the lettuce a week or so ago but oh well. Here you can see it is doing quite well! Only one leaf has some damage on it which is nice. They are getting nice and tall and look super healthy. I can't wait to eat it! 

Strawberries - 7

As you can see, my strawberries are continuing to do well! Each one of these is about 1" long so far and still not quite done. And, we got a new flower going on with two new buds. With any luck, the next time I take a picture of this plant, I'll have even more to show! 

Here is another split strawberry. The last one I took a photo of died shortly after the image. This one is getting a little farther. Who knows what will happen with it :p It kind of looks like a hippo nose and mouth though. :p If the hippo got punched in the nose that is. 

This strawberry is starting to get hues of pink in it! 

And here is my second little plant that is still holding on somehow! There are three or four buds on it and one that just lost the petals and should start turning into a strawberry soon! 

Carrots - 3

This little guy is one of the two transplants that survived. The other one isn't doing near as well and is only about half the size. We've got a lot more growing to do before it is done though! 

And here we have some of the seeds I planted. They aren't very far behind the one I transplanted despite it having such a leap in growth time! I will have to start thinning soon. The info I found on that said to cut them at the edge rather then pull so it will nourish the other plants and that is what I plan to do! 

Green Onion - 3

I finally figured it out. It's green onion. My husband and I took the kiddos to see their great-grandma the other day and she has a large garden (much larger then mine this time around) and she had much larger "things" that looked exactly like mine... but you know, larger. And they were green onion.

At long last, the mystery has been solved. I had really hoped it was garlic too lol

Cantaloupe - 6

As you can see, my cantaloupe has really been growing! Several days ago I had noticed little groups of stubby looking things and figured they would just pour out and turn into more leaves and "branches" so to speak.

Well, that probably is what they are going to do but some of them were also flowers! Which is beyond exciting. My cantaloupe plants are actually getting little cantaloupe flowers!

I don't even know what a cantaloupe flower looks like (though I'll probably go and google it once I finish this post) but I do know they are yellow! I can't wait to actually get a cantaloupe out of all of this. :D

 This picture shows the seedling leaves really well. They used to be the largest part of the plant and now they are the smallest!

This is the group of stubby looking things I mentioned above.

Tons and tons of flowers!
