You may be thinking, ‘Hmm, I wonder if Shawn needed help naming this week’s post?’ The answer is no, haha.

There isn’t too much to update you all on today; however, WE ARE AT THE HALFWAY POINT!!!

It’s clear that the Green Beans will have the first mini harvest, but I’m willing to bet that over the course of their lives, the summer squash and cucumbers will have the most fruit to bare. I am also willing to bet that I will give up on the tomatoes soon. They just don’t want to grow! One reader did send me a tip saying that my tomatoes looked overcrowded, so I pulled some out in hopes that they would grow significantly this week, but, so far, no such luck. Does anyone else have a suggestion or two, or should I just give up on them? I would hate to do that because I never give up on anything, but I may have met my match: lame tomatoes.

So what have you all been up to? Anything exciting? The weather has been so nice lately here in the Northeast United States (which means lots of sunlight for these little guys)! Unfortunately, I don’t know what I am doing after I graduate in May, so I may have to send the plants home. I guess it wouldn’t be too bad, though, because I could actually plant them into the ground. You know, instead of using old Halloween buckets!

Can you believe that I planted our little friends over four weeks ago? Wow, time flies. I hope the next four weeks go just as smoothly!

Happy gardening!
