First Green Bean
Now we are going on 2 & 1/2 months since our finished planting of April 10th and we have our first green bean harvested. Won't make much of a side course with only one bean, but it's a start and there are more on the way. The corn is starting to come along really well and we should have edible corn on the cob sometime before the middle of July, if we're lucky! The stalks are already taller than we are!
There are several beef steak tomatoes in varying stages of ripening as well as a regular harvest of the cherry tomatoes. I think next year we'll plant another cherry tomato plant and double our production there.

Corn & Tomato Plants
Another week has passed and, as you can see the corn & tomato plants are coming along quite nicely. This morning we harvested 2 cherry tomatoes and our first beef steak tomato as well as some more cucumber and some Swiss chard. It looks like we'll have some corn within less than a month and the beef steak tomatoes are starting to really sprout as well.

Harvest Basket
Here is one of our first harvest baskets at aproximately 6 weeks out from our planting. We are now starting to get at least a small harvest every week and it seems to taste appreciably better since we've grown it ourselves!
