Growing, growing

Everything is growing, blooming, and setting fruit. We did have some difficulty with the Zucchini this year. Fruit would blossom and set, and then over the next several days slowly wither and blacken on the blossom end. Turns out to be the same malady as blossom end rot that tomatoes have. Calcium spray on the leaves and presto - fruit are now ripening normally. Albeit, with zucchini, normal means if you miss a day checking them they multiply and replenish the earth. My father in law said zucchini fed the Israelites in the wilderness, because every morning there was more of it...

The tomato plants are approaching three feet high, and starting to fall over to the point that a person can't walk between the rows, or even see the rows for that matter.
