Off to left is the white cucumbers i mentioned...in front of us is an Early Girl tomato, yellow squash, and Black Zucchini to the right. The single Okra plant hides over there.
In the longer shot you saw the Green pole beans in the back, here's a better view of them.

@djlew This year I AM growing Early Girl tomatos...Started them from seed after last years nonsense...
(last year)I purchased '-Bush- Early Girl' at the hardware store i've used for years, not knowing there were two kinds, bush and normal...
However, the growth was
nothing like expectations. (Claim-54 days to harvest)....well...I strongly suspect these were some type of yellow tomato...they never turned red, and certainly not early.
They came all at once, all different sizes, and very late(90+ days)....even then they were yellowy. So last year wasted due to poor labeling by grower...
This year i purchased the Early Girl seed myself, and so far i'm impressed.
All Rutgers and Marglobes are knee high. Each Early Girl is over waist high and has 3-6 Golf ball sized tomatoes that are rapidly increasing.
Marglobes and Rutgers canopy 1 sq. ft. EG has 4 sq. ft easy of canopy.
I'll get some photos of a side by side for your comparison.
the minor garden activity for now....
I started a Potato tower this year, as an experiment.
Still have some hot peppers sprouting, and I'm trying for late bloomer okra to join their older sister.
Planting melons, winter squash, pumpkins and sunflowers now that it's rained. We've had 1/4 inch of rain in 3.5 months.
