Update


Welcome back, friends :-)

Everything in the garden is coming along, EXCEPT for the green bell peppers! What's up with that? The plants are very tall, but not producing anything.

However, I have A TON of the hot/mild peppers you see here. I say hot/mild because some apparently are screaming hot & some are mild. Still can't figure that one out, but they are very tasty - especially in spinach salads.

The CUCUMBERS (yes, they're cucumbers after all - LOL!) are delicious! It's so amazing that the tiny yellow blossoms produce such hearty fruit! It's amazing - one day, it's a flower, the next day, it's a huge veggie that appears to grow before your eyes.

My tomatoes aren't producing NEAR as well as I thought they would :-( And the tomatoes are small as you can see. Small, yet tasty all the same.

Nothing on the watermelon front, but the vines are long & trailing across the garden. The vines have tiny yellow flowers, but no sign of the fruit yet. We'll see what happens with that.

The cabbages are flourishing and starting to form round heads. I'm so proud of them. I had to get more EcoSense Insecticide spray - this product really appears to keep the beetles, slugs, etc. away, so I would recommend it to anyone on their garden and flowers.

If using the spray on flowers - DO NOT SPRAY THE BLOOMS! I've learned that the hard way. It's gentle on the leaves & keeps pests away, but it will kill your blossoms. DUH!

And that's it for now. I just wanted to keep you all updated on what's happening in my corner of the growing planet. Thanks for stopping by. Next time, I'll whip you up something tasty :-)
