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.

This summer I have been growing basil (backrow in photo) and thyme. Fresh herbs are easy to grow and are a nice addition to my cooking.
