I was going to just post a current picture but I think it's much more of a visual effect if I start at the beginning...
This is the garden on 5/18/09. We had just gotten done with some major planting of seeds. Pretty much all dirt with nothing even thinking of sprouting yet.
This is our garden on 6/7/09, just one month ago today. The corn was coming along, the cucumbers & beans were sprouting, but there was still a LOT of dirt.
Forward to 6/26/09 and things are definitely looking different! My son Collin built a "fence" for me for the cucumbers and everything is really taking off.
And here we are today! First photo is standing in the middle looking left. Second photo is looking right. Corn is above knee-high, most of the tomato plants are in cages, the broccoli is FINALLY starting to form in the middle, zucchini is going nuts and watermelon is sprawling out. (There's more than that growing but you get the idea...)
Every day I'm excited to go out into the garden and see what else I find growing. I'm finding vegetables peeking out from under leaves and vines everywhere. Sometimes I find something that looks like it's been growing for awhile and I like to think it hid there for awhile just to surprise me when I least expect it.
I'll keep you posted...

Oh wow! What a wonderful garden! You've done such a good job! You're making me envious that I don't have one. Lol. Keep up the good work!
Your garden is beautiful! My husband and I are also trying out a garden this year, though since it's just the two of us here, ours is much smaller. How have the watermelons been doing? I'm interested in trying that next year...
Thanks for the comments everyone, it truly makes me happy to know someone out there reads my blog...lol!
The watermelons are doing great. I plan on posting an update this weekend.
