Wow…I swear our veg­gie gar­den is grow­ing before my eyes!  I have this pic­ture that’s only 2 weeks old, and my gar­den looks NOTHING like this now:

My mum’s onions

The zuc­chini plants on the left are 10 times that size and get­tin’ all over the onions.  To the right of the onions are 2nd row of okra and they’re HUGE now.

I had to take a pic­ture of the onions because my mum is an onion freak lover.  We’ve got them here and in 3 other sep­a­rate pots on the porch!  We’ll def­i­nitely be set for the winter.

What’s killing me is the Asian green beans.  Mum mea­sured to see how much they grew overnight and it was 2 inches!!

Other than doing some weed­ing and cut­ting back on the toma­toes, the only other thing I’ve done is plant some marigold around the gar­den. (Thanks, Stephanie!) We were hav­ing some issues with aphids on the okra. Hope­fully this will take care of that.

By the way, I wanted to men­tion that my Freesia’s have been look­ing won­der­ful! I highly rec­om­mend plant­ing them around your deck.  The hum­ming­birds love them and they smell like Fruit­Loops!
