The garden in growing as fast as weeds ... kind of like the neighborhood kids. It's crazy. The rain we've had has helped a lot, too.Before we planted our box, I handed out sunflower seeds to the gang. I put a couple in a small pot and they are making their way to the sun. As far as I know, these are the only ones growing.
The pumpkin and watermelons were planted and then lots of rain hit. It looks like something is eating on the pumpkin. I heard these plants are slower growing than some of our other garden goodies. I will have to learn patience .... 
The eggplant has some flowering spots. Very exciting.
And our red pepper is growing visibly by the day!
Before we know it, I'm not going to get much light from those back windows. :-)
After I took these pictures, two of the gang that live next door ("Daris" and "Alex" - brother and sister) came by to check on things and to pluck any unwanted growth/weeds. They visit on a regular basis to check on our garden's progress. By the time I got my camera, they had finished what they were doing and were off playing with the rest of the group in the court.
By the way ... the kids made up "blog names" so that I can write about them and still protect their identity. This post finally gets me up-to-date with Project Big Hugs' story.
Much more to follow ....
