I have been self pollinating the zukes lately because I have noticed that all my female flowers are dying off and the zukes behind them too. I wasn't sure if I was doing it right so I only did a few and low and behold - I did it right!!! I have noticed a good number on the plants and am hoping I can get home from work in time tomorrow before they close so that I can pollinate them as well. I refuse to have these huge plants and nothing to show for it!

New arrivals to the Garden
Lots of activity going on in the garden over the past couple of days. Lots of new tomatoes, a whole bunch of new flowers on the cucumer plants and I now officially have two peppers growing. This picture quality is pretty poor, but I was so excited that they are actually growing I posted it anyway.
