Week 9 ... storms and bugs

This week was better in the garden!  Check out these zucchini.  The bottom one was overlooked for a couple of days.  (It was hiding.)  It's 11" long and it's the one on the scale weighing in at 1 1/2 lb in the picture below.  The top zucchini was one that was a baby on Wednesday.  Aunt Lori and Chris came by for a visit, and this one has grown so much just in two days!  I promise, it was only like 4 inches then.  

We got all of these today....what you don't see is the pound of broccoli we got earlier this week...and maybe another handful of cherry, yellow, and grape tomatoes that accidentally got eaten.  
These were from Tuesday.  Lori, this is the large zucchini you saw.  
Last night there was a terrific thunderstorm.  It was preceded by a gust front, with 50 mph winds and intense, sheeting rain.  The tv even said that funnel clouds were reported a few miles from here.  The two tomato plants on the right side of the box didn't fare too well with the high winds.  They toppled over and a few branches were broken off.  The plants were righted this morning and hopefully they'll not have to face too many more severe storms like the one last night.  
The zucchini didn't like the winds too much, either.  They are a little battered, but not too bad.  

There are several baby cucumbers on the bean pole, climbing and growing bigger each day.
More caterpillars....more Sevin.  
Lots of peppers!  The plants that were labeled green bells are growing long and thin and resemble poblanos.  Were the plants mislabeled?  We'll eat them, no matter what they are.
