Zucchini plants and Herbs

I took the camera out when we went to inspect the zucchini this morning. (Can't let the little devils get to advanced!)

Male zuke flower

This is one of the male flowers. The "star" is about 5-6 inches across. The females flowers are tucked beneath the leaves.

Terry and the zukes

Terry has made me promise not to plant so many next year. I tried to tell her that the four pack was the smallest Agway had to offer. She said to either only plant four plants. I doubt you can get just four seeds. Next year we will try to put in some bush beans but there's a healthy rabbit population in the area. Might have to do some fencing or target shooting.

Plants and Herbs

We did put in some herbs as well as a few perennials. The Marigolds are to deter deer. There's dill (from seed), basil, parsley, chives and more. All are doing quite well.
