Boxes 1-3

Box 1
The cucumber is climbing the trellis after all...with a little encouragement!  I wrapped some of the tendrils around it and have also threaded the top growth through twice now.  It has 4 or 5 flowers on it already. 
My one zucchini plant is getting big.  Pepper plants not as big in this box for some reason.

Box 2: somehow I missed pictures of this box last week.
The 2 Sun Sugar cherry tomatoes are doing awesome!  The one on the right is already to the top of the tomato cage.  I need to tie strings between the cages and the trellis to give the others a little more support.

Okra closeup, box 2.  Pretty leaf-shape.
Only one nasturtium left in this box.  Jacob pulled up the other one while weeding.  I hastily replanted it, but it seems the shock was too much for it.

Box 3
Those beans are already starting to take over the box.  The peppers are taller in this box, maybe to keep up with the competition, who knows?  Jacob's lima bean has flowers on it, and the scarlet runner beans have started climbing the trellis.  Maybe we'll get some pretty red flowers soon.  Herbs, okra, cantaloupe, and nasturtiums hanging in there.
