Garden EXPLOSION

By explosion, of course, I do NOT mean that some otherworldly comet came and caused a huge crater, sending plant debris everywhere, but rather an explosion of growth!

Being gone for 10 days in Maine, my wife and I didn't see the garden every day, and didn't know what to expect. When we came back we saw just how fast a garden can grow! Pumpkin vines were choking flowers and tomatoes. Squash plants were hugs, and so were the squash fruit itself. We had to clean up and cut back a lot of the pumpkin vines and squash plants. We then tore up the radishes (since they had been planted WAAAY too close together anyway and so had lousy radish growth) and the mustard greens. We did this to try and give more room for vines to grow. Anyway, I do have a few garden pictures that you can easily compare to the others that were posted to see just how much this little garden of ours took off!
