Weekly Garden Update

I left this plant to grow at first because the leaves looked similar to the marigolds.  As it grew I knew it wasn't one of the marigolds but didn't know if it was a weed or volunteer plant from our compost pile.  Out of curiousity I let it grow, but I still don't know what it is, any ideas?

Raspberries are producing, however, this years crop won't be as plentiful since I just transplanted them and several of the plants are first year plants, next year should be better.

Cabbage looks great and soon we will have grilled cabbage for dinner.

Tomatoes are ripening, once they start I will be up to my ears in jars of tomato sauce and enjoying a daily tomato.

Cucumbers are blossoming, but we haven't harvested any yet, it is a late cucumber harvest for me this year.  We have been eating cucumbers from my parents garden, thank you mom and dad.  I figure the cucumbers and the tomatoes will kick it into gear about the time we leave for our motocycle trip.

We had a lively thunderstorm on Wednesday afternoon and then again overnight, at our house we received just over three inches of much needed rain.  Thursday morning some of the sunflowers were like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, so I cut up a couple of old towels and tied them to the fence.
