Veg status:
sun sugar tomatoes: all ripened ones are being eaten as soon as they get yellow enough, so far we're up to three
peas: getting plumper by the minute
yellow beans: the junior gardeners picked a small handful for dinner tonight
yellow zucchinis: one eaten, one remains; vines are starting to ramp up production, bees appear to be busy on the scene, hand pollinating though to make doubly sure they grow
cucumbers: hand pollinating as well(quick tutorial below) and so far so good, none picked yet
