Front view of the entire big garden, complete with deer fence.
Tomatoes! I have one Brandywine, one Pink Beauty, and three Sungolds.
Sungold tomato plant.
Top view of the zucchini and nasturtium bed. I've read that nasturtiums attract beneficial insects and might repel squash bugs. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Zucchini plant just germinating.
Carrots and radishes, just popping up. I planted radishes between the rows of carrots, because the radishes will be ready long before the carrots need the space.
Yellow pepper plant, hanging in there (I think it's still a bit chilly at night for them).
Newly germinated snap peas.
Soon I'll put up a trellis so the peas can start their climbing act.IN THE LITTLE GARDEN:

Mint growing well in a planter made by my Dad. Mint reminds me of El Salvador ... all the women filled old broken tubs with soil and planted mint, called hierba buena in Spanish (literally, "good herb.")
Close-up of the mint.
Broccoli plant, just beginning to flower, with thyme in the background. I've read that thyme and rosemary repel cabbage moths. If not, I like both those herbs anyhow.

And, underneath the row covers ... spinach!
