It's a jungle out there!

OMG! my garden has grown out of control! I am so embarassed by this mess! Definitely will rethink my design! The tomato plants are so huge they were falling over with the weight! I removed one of the 5 plants that had fallen completely over; cut back the other ones severely so that the fruit can get some light. I tried restaking them but they fell over too...only one of the 5 plants has given me red tomatoes. The beefmasters were huge and cracked on the bottoms...I have no hope for them! It is so depressing and defeating!!


I tore out one of my rows of peas that also collapsed the pods were huge but the peas were not filling them out.

My cucumbers are taking over the free space on the ground and creeping into the boxes! however I have plucked quite a few cukes! have been eating a lot of cucumber and zucchini salads!
Of my four zucchini plants, one has given me lots of zucchini the others flowers but no fruit until this week, so there is hope.

My beans were giving me lots of giant beans, but I had to rip out a couple of the plants because they were choking out the eggplants.

Speaking of eggplants..voila!


Is this not a thing of beauty?!

Roasted sliced eggplant on the bbq with melted cheese with stir fried veggies and garlic! yummy!
