Garden pictures

When my grandmother arrived last week, the first thing she asked was,"Where's your garden?"
I was completely insulted for she was standing right next to it! She was thinking I was going to have an acre of growing things but we had to point out (a) our tractor remains broken more than working and (b) I just don't have that kind of time.
Here's an overview with Hayes trying to catch the frog making her home among the tomatoes.
This is our first year garden here and so far some things are doing quite well.
Celery is ready to harvest. If you've never had celery from the garden, you just can't imagine. It is nothing like the tasteless stuff from the grocery.
The beginnings of my eight ball zucchini:
Four different kinds of tomatoes that remain unstaked (ahem, Alex): paste tomatoe, grape tomatoe, mortgage lifter tomatoe and Cherokee heirloom tomato.
My potatoes bit the dust. Alex reminded me we've tried to grow potatoes for 10 years now and never had any success. My Irish does not come out when growing potatoes.
Beans and peas are doing well and I need to cut the suckers off my strawberries and root them for another patch.
