We harvested our radishes tonight, and by "our radishes" I really mean "Jim's radishes." He is dedicated to the gardening cause. I must say that I loved pulling all the radishes out. It was very satisfying, despite my little red hen approach to gardening (Who will help me plant, etc...Not I). Nonetheless, We all pulled the radishes together. It was very nice of Jim to let me help with the fun part. I sadly left my camera at my mom's house and had to take pictures with my video camera. Not the best quality, yet they look better than my deleted Maine photos (because you can see them...because they are not deleted).
Anyone have any good radish recipes?
Below is the mystery plant that is growing next to the surprise corn. You see Jim has been composting all year long and some of his plants growing are from random compost material. We're not entirely sure what this large plant is. The neighbor thinks its a weed gone crazy, but I am holding out hope for something really awesome...well as awesome as produce can get. Jim thinks it's possibly a watermelon, pumpkin, or even a crazy cucumber or zucchini plant.

Here is one of the many cabbages that Jim planted. They are looking beautiful! No doubt all the pesky woodland creatures that live in our yard will try to take a nibble or more.
That's the garden update. Stay tuned for fun pictures from our fast trip to NC for a wedding. (Pictures are in my camera at my mom's house...which is still a better place than "erased forever")

Nice job, guys!
Wow, great garden already!
Your mystery plant looks just like my zucchini plant, but don't take my word for it bc this is my first attempt at gardening and I didn't even know which were plants and which were weeds at first. I think I pulled up a bunch of beans!
Zucchini it is!!
CK -- who are you?
CK would be your kind neighbor with 5 children that live behind you :) I love your garden!
Are you sure? Because she has commented before with her name.
Your mystery plant looks like rhubarb to me. It's a perennial plant and comes back yearly. If it is, it will get an ugly white flower on top which you should cut off. Eventually the bottoms of the stalks will turn a reddish color too.
