Gardening in my roots, super roundup

Things are happening out in the garden, but the photographer has been derelict in duty. Any time that could be spent picturing and recording progress, has been frittered away in planting, transplanting, weeding and other non-essential activities. But trust me--it's growing.



We have

beets














black-eyes





















Bok Choy which is for no good reason going to seed already. I'm going to pull it all up today and cook it.








and broccoli, which is doing absolutely nothing but looks very lovely.


















carrots (and a few radishes mixed in)





chard (Swiss chard, if you insist, but why I have to capitalize the S I fail to understand.)






 cucumbers, getting ready to climb that fence









green beans that survived the frost, hurray!








lettuce, lots and lots





onions



























Sugar Snap Peas














close-up to the perfect pea


right before I plucked it














 squash, not yet hit by the squash borers














tomatoes. Too many, if that's possible.











and peppers--never too many!




There are a few miscellany--a ton of cilantro and horseradish that comes up wild; a tiny amount of dill and parsley which hasn't been discovered by the swallowtail caterpillars yet; a bit of sage; a couple of potatoes that were growing leggy in the pantry; some very unhappy garlic that against all rules was planted in the spring; and a few Kohlrabi which aren't growing their bulbs like they're supposed to.
I forgot to mention the very sad eggplant and a few asters I grew from seed.
Also the okra coming up wild all over the place and the zinnas coming up wild from the seed packets I planted last year to get rid of them. Who knows what they will do?
