Eggplant, Tomato, and Corn Update

Left: Some tomatoes picked today. I'll use them in a tomato and onion salad with balsalmic vinegar....Yum!!! Below: Jen's eggplant. Only one so far.

Corn!!! I've been having a tough time with the corn but they are holding up for the most part. I lost half a stalk so I have 6.5 stalks growing. One of the stalks snapped in half during some bad wind. I didn't yank it out the pot because it appears that what's left is still trying to grow.

...On ciabatta bread with mayo and some basil please

The first ripened tomato. After work tomorrow, I will pick up the bread. I'm expecting at least 2 sandwiches out of this bad boy!!!

Tasha and the Beanstalk

Yup! Planted this from a seed. I don't usually have success with seeds. Can't wait. I might add the bean with the corn. I read about that somewhere...

I planted radish seeds on Saturday and they are already peeking through the soil.....niiiice

One of the 3 flowers on the eggplant. Quite pretty. Can't wait to see it turn into an eggplant

These trolls are protectors of the garden. Who needs gnomes when you've got these guys????

Oh Hell No!!!!!!!

Harmless Jumping Spider My Ass!!!!!!!.......

Green Beans and Radishes (Pics Forthcoming (sp?))

I went to Lowe's to find some seeds. Aside from one daisy, I haven't tried to grow anything from a seed. Everything has been picked up at Lowe's or Home Depot or Walmart. Well, I couldn't find any seeds and I located staff to find out why. The girl told me that Lowe's felt it was too late in the season to try to grow anything from a seed so they stopped selling them. She suggested I go to Kmart down the road. So I went to Kmart and bought a pack of radish seeds and green bean seeds. Luckily, they were 40% off because I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I planted them today.
According to the package, the radishes should be harvest ready in 22 days. Yeah right!!! Not in my back yard, they won't.... The corn is coming along good and the eggplant has 2 very pretty lavender flowers. Anxious to see how that is going to turn out. And I'm not sure how the squash is doing. Lots of big green leaves but not much else. There was one yellow flower (my profile pic) that bloomed but it fell off.
Oh! There are also some trolls in the garden! Quite cute. Haven't taken any pics of them yet. Maybe tomorrow if I get up early enough.
Anyway, that's it for now.
In the words of Heidi Klum....... Aveeda Zen!!!
