Yeah!!!! It is the first day of summer and the garden is doing great. Hopefully it will keep up through the season. We've had a hot spell in the last week and the garden loved it. With daily watering, a bit of fertilizer and lots of love here is how my garden is growing thus far.
The Cucumbers are struggling, I started them inside and when I planted them, they were "shocked by the outside environment, especially the heat wave. I thought they were goners but then I fertilized them and they seemed to have revitalized. I am very pleased with the tomato plants. A friend gave me six seedlings and I've added four of my own. Hopefully this will yield a good crop. 
The lettuce should be ready to harvest in a week. Yummy!

Wow, that looks wonderful!
You GO, Garden Grrrl! I love the basil especially...ever since I learned in seminary about the Greek term for the Kingdom of God! Did you know there's a variety used in East Indian cooking/medicine that's called "Holy Basil" or "Sacred Basil?" I think we should scatter THOSE seeds EVERYwhere!!!
