Hey! I took a trip out west for 1 week to sunny California (although from what I hear, it was very hot in New Jersey for the last week with temps. reaching into the 100s?!). Anyway, I came back and saw a lot of growth in all of my gardens (vegetable, flowerbed, walkway and container). I took a few pics just to show the dramatic fruit and vegetable growths in a period of 1 week! There is a group of strawberries which will soon be ready to pluck. The tomatoes are in full effect, but the weight of the fruit is pulling down on the stems. Therefore, I tied some stems along the fence to train them. The ichiban eggplants are growing strong. A variety of peppers can be seen, and some may be ready to pluck.
As for the flowers, A LOT of stems have emerged from the container garden (which is a good sign, as I originally thought they would not grow). As for the flowerbed, I see small stems, but I cannot discern if they are from bulbs or simply weeds. We will just have to wait and see. Anyway, check out the pics below!
