For the last 3 weeks we took pictures every Friday but just didn't update the blog with them. So now we're all caught up. Hope to stay on top of things from now on!
Here is the strawberry and soon-to-be asparagus beds. The strawberry plants are busy putting out runners and I hope they fill the box! Next June we're sure to have a lot of strawberries.
In this box, we removed the dead squash plants and one of the canteloupe vines that didn't make it. We replaced them with more yellow squash and cucumber seedlings...hope we're past the bug season and they can produce without being destroyed. Still getting a lot of yellow and grape tomatoes from here, anywhere from 5-10 a day. 
All of the broccoli have been removed! The cabbage plant, the rhubarb, and the onions remain. We are starting seeds indoors for fall and winter crops. (Don't want the squirrels to be digging up any seeds we plant!)
We got a cucumber from this box the other day...it looked fine but after a little while we realized it had a pickleworm inside it having a good time eating its way through. I just don't know if we're going to get anything else from here. There are a couple of female blooms on the zucchini -- if they don't produce a zucchini, we'll probably pull these out also.
These tomatoes although still producing, are showing some signs of distress...so this week most of the lower branches were removed that were brown or yellow. They were given a slow-release fertilizer and fresh extra soil was mounded up around their stems. The pepper plants are starting to set more fruit and are blooming nicely.
