Way overdue update

Well, it's been a LONG time. Things have been going really well. I got a late start putting out a lot of my veggies, but have been enjoying lettuce and cucumbers out of the garden and have harvested a couple of crookneck squash (planning those for dinner tonight!). I have tomatoes that are getting huge, but still green.
So today's my birthday. :) I thought I'd spend a little time updating this while I have the time. So here goes.

Here are photos from June 1 when I first put everything out (remember: everything was grown indoors from seed!).

These are (from top to bottom): coleus with dichondra in top two baskets and impatiens in bottom.

And here's the same baskets July 10:

And a closeup:

I just love those. I'll definitely be repeating the dichondra and coleus. The dichondra is supposed to be able to take full sun, but those pots are in mostly shade and they are my best dichondra.

Here are other pictures from around the garden:


These are tomatoes on June 1.
And on July 10.

I made some self-watering containers for some tomatoes and squash. This is one of them on June 1.
And a view of the squash and some tomatoes on July 10.
Some cuke transplants on June 1 in my square foot garden (before trellis).
The SFG after trellis.
SFG on July 10. Things are much bigger today. Mediterranean Vinca with dichondra in top, sweet peas in middle, and red petunias with coleus and zinnias in bottom.
And the Med. Vinca on July 10...it's actually trailing! I'm still waiting on the red one to start blooming...it finally has buds.

I promise to update again really soon!
