Veggies galore!

Man it doesnt seem like it can already be July!! Incase you wondered why I havent updated my blog lately except for the pictures of the pool yesterday here is why! When I started my garden in May I thought for sure after those cold snaps that we had that I was going to lose most if not all of my plants but it seems that it cold snap didnt bother them a bit!! This is what my garden now looks like!
This is the full view of the entire garden.

These are my butternut and winter squash plants and they are loaded with squash!! mmmmmI can taste them already!!!

this is garlic to the left, cabbage and brussell sprouts and then my lettuce which is coming back nicely. Almost lost it all no thanks to a hungry little ground hog but I fenced him out lol and then my pepper plants are in the next row and they are all loaded with peppers!!
And my corn is shooting right up!
and here is an acorn squash plant that is loaded with squash!
and one of my zucchini plants that has a few on it that are almost ready to pick!
and one of my watermelon plants that I have a few little baby watermelons growing!
And I just added these to my collection of plants...3 grape plants on the right and I just found a cluster of grapes on one of them!!! and 2 blackberry bushes to the right
and these are my green/yellow beans and they are also loaded with beans!! and the orange container at the end is cucumbers and it has a bunch of cukes on it! and to the right is some spinach and a few egg plants at the end of these 3 rows.
