Oops blurry picture, but this is water melon.

Lemon Cucumbers, look closely at the spikes.

Cucumber and Lemon Cucumbers side by side.

Finally, with the heat wave, the tomatoes are beginning to show its colors.

Harvest time, cucumber, lemon cucumber and beans.

Just curious to see where the roots go.

Since the depth of the raise bed is only 6", it is not surprising to see that the roots wonder towards the side.

As you can see that the 2 x 4 grid was already full. Need to plan for the next one maybe a 2 x 6...

From Bottom left grid -

Basil, water melon, korean melon, pickled cucumber.

Top left grid -

Peppers (mixed), pak choy (time to plant new batch), anaheim pepper & okra (seems to be taking it own sweet time) and beets.

Corn tassels, fascinated by it, as this is the first time, I planted corns. Nice purplish hue, looks like grains of wheat.

Bush beans and cucumber.

Pak choy destiny. Stir fry with golden mushrooms, tomatoes - with fish sauce, belacan (prawn paste - taste like anchovies) and garnish with crispsy golden onion bits. Yum...yum yum.

Bok Choy is ready for harvest, this will be dinner for tomorrow.

This year, it seems that the weather is not hot enough to ripen the tomatoes. But gardening is all patience, and let mother nature do what she need to do.

A little note on the trellis, this is the first time I tried the trellis method, and it has been beautiful. Although it is less fruits, but the fruits are big and healthy. So far this is the neatest tomato plant I ever have. no more fumbling for the tomatoes, every fruits is within sight. Easy to pick and monitor.

Bush beans, by next week, I 'll have a bunch full of beans.

Lemon cucumber.

A tassel in formation.

Every corn plant has both male and female parts. The male part, which is known as the tassel, emerges from the top of the plant after all the leaves have emerged. The tassel usually consists of several branches, along which many small male flowers are situated. Each male flower releases a large number of pollen grains, each of which contains the male sex cell. The female floral organ is called an ear. The ear develops at the tip of a shank, which is a small, stalk-like structure that grows out from a leaf node located approximately midway between the ground and the tassel (Figure 3). Occasionally, a plant will produce an ear at several consecutive nodes, but the one that is located uppermost on the stalk becomes the largest ear. The immature ear consists of a cob, eggs that develop into kernels after pollination, and silks.

Got the above from the link below.

Look at the jungle, hmm... organized jungle. With Corn and cucumber in the background.

Eggplant starts to flower. Nice purplish tone.

On the left is the Japanese Long cucumber, while on the right is Lemon Cucumber.

Cucumber, turnip and potatoes update. Could not wait for the first cucumber crunch.

Tomatoes update. Look how tidy it is with the trellis system.

Beautiful apples.

This is to illustrate the impprtance of the soil mixture. I planted corns on both different soil composition, at the same time. ON the left is Mel's mixture (SFG), while the right is ordinary compost and existing soil. Look at the difference, the girth of the corn stem is 4 times larger on SFG, more leaves and taller too.
