My garden exploded

This was my garden in the beginning stages maybe a week after planting.
I'm really excited about this guy. He's the plumeria tree that I brought back from Hawaii last year. I wasn't sure how he was going to do here, but so far he's really taking off! Hopefully by next year I'll have some pretty white, wonderfully smelling flowers.
This is my garden now. My beans (in the front) are HUGE and the tomatoes (in the back) will not stop growing. They are monsters threatening to take over the whole box. Hopefully I'll get some delicious, red "maters" on there soon enough to start enjoying them.
This is an aerial view of the garden. My strawberries, peas and carrots aren't doing so well, but my zucchini, watermelon and pumpkin, along with my beans and tomatoes of course, are really taking off. I also have a fun little green pepper that I'm not sure will get much bigger, but it's fun to see. I've already enjoyed 2 pickings of green beans. There's just nothing like fresh produce from the back yard!

Oh, I'm jealous. I would love freh produce from the garden, instead of the expensive tasteless stuff from the store. Your garden looks great!

That is a nice little garden. It reminds me of your dad's garden. Maybe when we get over there we will do some of those box garden boxes too. I love your plumeria tree. I loved the smell of them and I have two or three plumeria earrings, cause I just love them. Send more pictures when they start to flower ok?

Hey Lisa~

I found you on a friend's blog. The remodel looks great. What a small world.
