basil, corn, lemon cucumber and bell pepper
(Until two years ago I only ate one of the four!)
I love to head right out into my garden each morning so I can see what's changed since the day before. Things are moving along well in this July heat--not a lot of red or orange yet--everything is green, green, green. Eat your heart out, Kermie.
This morning's harvest was two zucchini, one yellow squash, and two round lemon cukes. I took a picture of said harvest, but I couldn't figure out a way to crop it that would help me avoid "um, those veggies on your blog look kind of X-rated" comments. For similar reasons I did not snap a pic of our burgeoning Japanese eggplant. It's about how you would picture it.
Just as I was hanging on to a fence board to balance myself and straddling my herbs to get a better shot of a newly blushing tomato, the garden sprinklers came on. Oopsie.
I'm overjoyed with the magic that is growing my own food. Agriculture is neat.

One of my tomato plants is doing AWESOME.. the other two suck :( But I do have jalapenos and thai peppers.. and basil. Good enough for this year :)
