What's Growing in the Garden

The garden is starting to look like a jungle after this week's torrents. Let's check in to see what's growing. Above, carrots are turning into wild monsters, and the greens are going to seed. It's impressive to pull up a big root, but we definitely found out we prefer the taste of the young, little ones.
Three varieties of sunflower this year: Sumter's Primrose Perfection and Mammoth Greystripe from last year (plus what ever they crossed to make) and Teddy Bear. Above looks like Greystripe, but with smaller side bud characteristic of Sumter's.
Scarlet Flax, the only wildflower to come up so far.
Baby Fig on the lonely Fig Tree.
Ten foot tall Sunflowers (Greystripe?). Crappy picture, but they're so tall it's hard to get a good one!
Sungold tomatoes. My hybrids are putting out lots of little green tomatoes. I'm hoping the Heirlooms just need more time.
Looks like Sumter's to me.
Teddy Bear. So cute!
The tiniest Pinwheel Zinnia of them all!
