Rewarding

Well, gardening is lots of hard work but is very rewarding. Lots of weeding today, cutting back suckers on tomatoes, cutting dead zuchinni leaves. 

My tomatoes are finally turning colour. I've got at least 5 different varieties so I am anxious to see what I get first. Got more zuchinni and apparently a yellow squash got into the mix of my zuchinni seed because what I thought was a zuchinni plant is growing a baby yellow squash. How interesting.

Tomatoes

This year is the first year that I started growing vegetables. I have yellow onions, zucchini and tomato. The zucchini I think is dying. I've had to cut several leaves off. I think it has powdery mildew but I'm not sure because I have never seen a picture. But the leaves were very dry and turning brownish yellow. 

The tomato is small but I think it's because I put it in a spot that doesn't get more than 4-5 straight hours of sun. Is this the reason? They are the size of a small fist. I haven't tasted it yet as I've got some tomatoes still from the store to go through first. I've tried some miracle grow but I'm pretty sure it's mostly the lack of sun. 

The onions seem to be doing well. They are getting bigger. Does anyone know if cutting the greens to eat slows the growth of the onion. I can't seem to find any information about that?
