Garden Update: Bodacious Boxes of Bounty

I thought I'd give a box-by-box update on our first-year front yard garden adventure. The veggies and flowers seem to thrive on all the rain. Can't speak to the produce yet as all we've harvested thus far have been salad greens and herbs. The great drainage from the slope keeps everything from getting drowned. I did get a few cabbage worms that got to my cabbages before I sprayed them with garlic-cayenne water (steep it for an hour).

This box contains tomatoes (San Marzano, Chinese Yellow Grape, and Ukrainian Purple), Chiogga and Detroit Dark Red beets, turnips and Swiss chard.
Herbs (Italian flat leaf parsley, Basil, fennel, cilantro, French thyme) & tomatoes (Cherokee Purple and Amish paste).

Tomatoes (green grape, Amish paste, and Ukrainian purple), carrots, and onions (started late, on the right).

We've been eating the hell out of these salad greens (Amish Deer Tongue, Cimmaron, Ella Kropf, Gold Rush, Petite Rouge, Oak Leaf, Out Redgous, Chadwich Rodan, various arugulas).

Cabbages, collards (Georgia Southern and Vates), kales (Dwarf Blue Curly and Lacinato), cauliflower & Brussels sprouts

Squash box (Table Queen, butternut, Golden zucchini, Black Beauty zucchini, Patisson Panaché Vert et Blanc Patisson Panaché Jaune et Verte).
