Garden Progress Update

Bottom (B) working up, Left (L) to Right (R): Strawberries (B); Sweet Potatoes (L); Beets (R); Yellow Squash, Lettuce (L); Beans (R); Basil, Cilantro, Red Hot Cherry Peppers, Eggplant (L); Beans (R); Yellow Onions, Red Onions (L); Beans (R); Brussel Sprouts, Late Cabbage, Cauliflower (L); Cucumbers, Bush Pickles (R); Early Cabbage, Red Cabbage, Acorn Squash, Yellow Squash (L); Butternut Squash and Zucchini (R).

 At the top-front of the garden we have Hungarian Wax (top bed, 2 rows), Jet Star Tomatoes (beds 2-4 with 2 rows each)
At the bottom front we have Broccoli  (transplanted from a traditional row (or was it 2 rows) that were where bed 5 now lies.  Then we have 3 tomatoes left over from beds 2-4, followed by Big Bertha Green Peppers and 2 dozen Cauliflower.  The bottom 4 traditional garden rows are all Broccoli.
   The Cauliflower are under attack, along with the beans you can see in the beds in the back half of the garden.  I believe the culprits are army worms, based solely on the leaves being eaten from the edges in.  There were flea beetles in the eggplants, which are above the green beans, a chipmunk is eating half of each strawberry left to ripen and the beets are disappearing, I think crows might be getting into them.
   Other than that, the plants are all healthy and growing well.  Melissa visited relatives down state this weekend and she said their plants look sick compared to ours :-).  That makes my competitive side happy!
   I'll try to get some pictures posted of the back half of the garden soon.
