May 2011 Update

I took all these pictures a week ago, but haven't had time to post them.  Everything is growing well except for the cucumbers and the carrots.  The cucumbers have developed a white film over the leaves and appear to be dying.  Oh, and the Baby Pam pumpkins aren't looking so great either.  I don't think I hardened them off well enough before transplanting.  This week I moved the melons out into the garden and planted the winter squash.  All the cool weather crops are flourishing because we have had few clear sunny days and lots of rain this spring.  The moat around the garden is clear of most weeds, thanks to the chickens.  There are a couple of types of weed that they won't eat, but in general they do a great job.  So, on to the pictures!
