Gardening update

Here's today's status for the veggies.  Plants are all growing good, zucchinis and crookneck squashes some nice looking veggies on the plants.  I ended up putting a couple rows of corn (seen to the right of the tomato plants), with encouragement from my sons.  

                 

Also found out something interesting recently.  I'm continuing to look for remedies for my high blood pressure.  I found this suggestion posted on various boards:  eating orange peels.  So, now, I'm putting our mandarins to good use; eating a couple of whole oranges every day, including the peel.  Doesn't taste that bad, really - just never thought about eating the peel before.  Now I don't have to worry about having too many uneaten oranges.  Better get these eaten, though - flowers are appearing on the tree for the next crop.
