Another week and the plants have nearly all doubled in size. The lettuce is looking yummy already.

There are new flowers on the tomato plants.

My green bell peppers are still, not so green.....hmmmm.

There are actually spots that appear purple on two of the peppers.

The summer squash is growing well....I'm just not sure if it will continue since it's going into cooler weather, but I figured I'd give it a try anyway.

I'm finding some pests on my tomatos....I'm not sure what they are, but think they may be aphids. I sprayed the plants down with mild dish soapy water.

The beans and peas continue to do well. I had few seeds that didn't germinate, so I replanted. These have sprouted and will now give me a full 9 plants in each box. The broccoli, cauliflower and brussel sprouts seem to be coming along too.

The boys were very excited to find one red cherry tomato. I let them pick it and they shared it....it was only about 3/4" around, but they savored it. :)

This one has been the same color for a while and seemed to be getting pretty big for a patio tomato so I went ahead and picked it.....we'll see if it will ripen in the house.

Our first "harvest."

Ohhhh, the possibilities.
