I'm getting some good production out of my one zucchini plant. I was out of town on business during the week and I came back to find a zucchini about a foot long and as big around as my forearm. Had I been there during the week I wouldn't have let it get that big, but it was interesting to see. It tipped the scales at 25 oz.

Green bean production is still steady. I'm getting lots of blooms on the tomato plants and have a few romas starting to appear. The pepper plants should start producing soon. One bell pepper has appeared.
