My garden: more things dying and some things getting huge

I promised a garden update on Saturday, but I lied. I should stop promising to update on Saturdays, that is insanity.

Well, the kale is dead. It looked good for about a week but then just gave up, plant by plant.

The tomatoes and bell pepper plants are HUGE but producing nothing. Wha? Is that supposed to happen?

In case you cannot tell, these tomatoes come up to my nose when I'm standing next to them.

The mint and chocolate mint, and parsley and basil are GOING CRAZY. I don't even know what to do with them, they are so huge. Anybody need some mint??



The fennel...what the heck is fennel for, anyway?

There is a beet plant that is pretty darn huge-looking but I am not sure how big it actually is underneath the leaves so I am afraid to harvest it. How do I know when to harvest it?



Here is the one tiny strawberry that grew from my strawberry plants.



This post has far more questions than answers.
