Garden Update - Part 2

Some pepper plants (purchased)

These are the roots - all planted from seed in the deeper middle box: First up are the beets:

Then there are the carrots:

And the parsnips:

The carrots and parsnips have really started to grow over the past 2 weeks. Before that they were just small seedlings and I wasn't sure they'd really take hold. All three of these were planted directly into the garden once the boxes were built, as these plants apparently don't take well to transplanting. Parsnips and brussel spouts should be left in the ground until after the first mild frost for full flavour.

Green zucchini - also from seed:

Yellow zucchini from seed - these took off fast but have slowed. I think they could be in a better spot, maybe they don't get enough sun?

Beans, zucchini & a climbing flower that hasn't bloomed yet???

Assorted pea plants from seed:

And now for the lettuce plants - again all of these are from seed.

First up is my crazy arugula plants - they have gone wild, filling their whole square. I've been thinning these out regularly and can't keep up. Good thing I really love arugula!! Nothing beats it fresh from the garden.

Next up: Red leaf lettuuce

Now the assorted green leaf varieties:

Various onion plants, started from sets. In the foregound is my lavender plant and another yellow zucchini plant.

And these are the two plants that have started but are still struggling -

Brussel sprouts (which the earwigs love, btw) - see the eaten plants on the left?? they too are still struggling to survive. Will they make it??

and the cauliflour

and finally, what garden would be complete without a mystery plant? so here is mine, haven't a clue what this one is:

Last but certainly not least, here's a favorite pic of my first tomato. Many more are on their way.
