July 16th, 2012: Weeds, weeds, and weeds

Look at my weeds!  No really. I had a serious case of the weeds in my garden.  I have been over run with grass and some strange weed thing that tries to make you think it's a vegetable but it isn't.  This was my goal for my morning before it got super hot out.  I'm glad I did it in the morning because when I woke up that night it was sticky and gross out.

Have no fear there are plants underneath those weeds.  I was only able to make it as far as my kohlrabi row and didn't get to the peas(If there are any in there) or the cucumbers.  I'll have to try to do that after this heat cools off again or I catch another cool morning. Now for some pictures of my garden!

Lettuce!  Question about these, how big do I let them get before I cut them, and then do I have to replant in order to get another batch?

Beets!  I was really unsure about if there was any in my garden because the grass was super thick there.  I'm glad that I found some at the bottom.

Green beans. They only seemed to really sprout in the front of the row.  So probably not as many green beans as I'd like.  Are green beans the ones I should be putting fence up for them to grow on?

One of my two watermelon plants.

My already started corn stalks are getting big.  I think they might be waist high even.  If you look in the green bean one above you can see the corn I planted from seeds.  Those are still below the knee, but growing.

My Early girl tomatoes have the first fruit growing. I think I saw a tiny one growing on my Big Boy Tomato plant but the Early Girl wins the prize! Lets see who gets ripe the fastest.

Now for another question.  I found these 'berry' looking plants in my bushes next to my garden.  I really have no idea what they could be.  The purple flower to the right is the bloom on the bush.  Any ideas.  Grandma? Know what it is?

I'm super curious.  I don't want to try to eat the berries or anything, but if I could I might. Just saying.

Last but not least. I found a pig nose in my garden.  It looks like a nut shell from the other side but when you turn it over it's a pig nose.  No idea what that could be from!

Also you can see Thor and the Hulk watching over my garden in the background.
