Yes, I do realize there are still a lot of weeds. ;-/ But I do like these wide shots since they allow me to see the garden changing as the weeks go by. That huge plant to the right of center is a cucumber.
Most of the plants have fruit on them. Check out these tomatoes.
I had planted 9 Roma tomatoes in hopes of having enough to make and can sauce this summer. So it looks like we are finally on our way. :-)
The beets are supposed to be ready to harvest, but Hubba wants them to get bigger.
Most of the squash plants have fruit er veggies (?) too. I think we will be able to harvest a few zucchinis and yellow straightnecks this week.
Here are a couple of squash blossoms for your viewing pleasure.
I harvested some basil yesterday and made pesto from scratch for the very first time. :-) I would share a photo, but we put it on a pizza with grilled chicken and ate it all before I remembered to fetch my camera. It was delicious. :-)
I found several of these guys while I was weeding. I think they're soon to be cicadas, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know?
Finally, while I was weeding my garden this weekend, I was daydreaming about having a booth at the Farmer's Market. giggle. It sure would be fun. :-)

While I can't help you on the cicada ID, I can say those romas sure look like they're going to be good once they ripen! And I'll definitely be looking for squash photos. :)
Yum, yum! I love garden fresh veggies minus all of the hard work. I give you major kudos for tackling the weeds.
Oh dear, I think that's a grubworm ... not good! Google "picture of grubworm."
Eew. Beth, I think you're right. Those look like grubs. Maybe I can borrow some chickens from my neighbor. ;-)
Hello Kathryn,
You are the WINNER of my blog giveaway for June. Please email your mailing address; so I can send your package out to you. My email is paulaparrish@comcast.net.
Smiles, Paula
I used to have a tee shirt that said "So many weeds so little time" and that's just what I feel like right now. Your garden is growing much faster than mine. We just had to much snow into June!
Hi Kathryn, I'm over from Paula. Congratulations on winning her giveaway! I see that you raise alpacas. That's cool. They have such cute faces. Your tomatoes look fantastic. It must be wonderful to have a garden with all those veggies. Have you ever tried preparing filled zucchini blossoms? Very yummy!
xoxo,
Julia
I have not made stuffed squash blossoms before, but having lived in New Mexico for 13-ish years I'm almost certain I've eaten them before.
It's a great idea, I will have to give it a try.
