Obviously, no blooms yet. They are definitely too close to each other, but I don't have the heart to pull any yet. I should do it soon.

Update on the green bean plants

We planted a few green bean plants directly in the ground, but out of 10 or so seeds, only two came up, and one of those died. The one that survived looks like it'll be okay, but it's not growing nearly as well as the ones in the pot eating Miracle Gro.

Update on the tomatoes

It probably would have been better for comparison if I took a picture of the entire plant, but I wanted to focus on the fruit. On top of that, the fruit picture is out of focus. Oh well.

In general, all the tomato plants are doing fabulous. They all have blossoms and quite a few already have green fruit.

Update on the peppers

The banana pepper plants were the first to bloom, but all the rest of the pepper plants are doing quite well. We'll have tons of peppers this summer. I don't even know what to do with banana peppers. Recipes, anybody?

Theo has a green thumb.

 So overall, everything is doing well. The cilantro has been neglected and is on its way to serving as coriander instead. Whatever. The chives have been cut back a few times. I need to learn more ways to use them in my cooking. The eggplant hasn't changed much, maybe looks a little bigger than before. As for those basil seedlings, I took a chance and tried to separate them. Some of them did not do well after the separation, but others still managed to thrive. I think the difference was the soil. Miracle Gro really does work.

Theo helps me take good care of the garden. I do have to watch him around the plants though, especially when he gets it in his mind that he's going to prune and weed just like his mom. He has already pulled up a few onions and basil seedlings. It's okay though, we have too many. He is really excited to show off the garden. He points to the tomato blossoms and says, "These are going to grow up to be tomatoes." He points to the sunflower plants and says, "Look at the sunflowers, they came up. They're going to grow up to be corn."
