Just a quick garden update.

Tomatoes are starting to ripen along with the Thai chili peppers. Green bell peppers are growing, as are the Cayenne chili peppers. The various herbs are doing well and I use them regularly. Thai basil with ground pork mmm . . . The beets and radishes seem to be growing well. I'll check the first crop of beets soon.

However all is not well. The cucumber plant looks to be spent already. I'm not sure what the problem is, not enough sun? Did I let a few cucumbers get too big? Also the Italian sweet basil plant is not that big.

What happened? I didn't get any radishes from my first crop of radishes. The package said 29 days until harvest and it was at least that long, I planted the seeds in late April or early May. Oh well, I will wait extra long for the second crop.
