Kept Alive and Doing Well - Progress Report #1

A Month and half passed since the last report, and here I am, harvesting Summer Squash like insane person (I really didn't believe what people are talking about - they come in dozens!!!).  You can eat so much squash by myself... try to be a good co-worker and send them to good people in my office to spread the wealth...  So far they don't hate me yet.
Tomato are finally changing colors.  They are doing great job just getting taller and taller - again, I didn't know they grow so tall.  Biggest surprise of them all are.... Peppers!!  I thought I had planted only sweet peppers (green) and guess what!  I think I have green chile in there.  If anyone see this pictures and can tell me whether these are Chili - please let me know...  I don't remember I planted one of those.  Where that came from???
Melons are surprisingly growing in the speedy pace.  It's like - Really?? Yesterday  you are thumb size and today - oh, it is bigger than golf ball......
Anyway, everything I planted, they are OK, folks!!  I have not killed all of them yet.  And they are plenty!!!!
I think this is what "Abundant" means.  I feel good....  Here is the proof!!
I have a second one!!!!

Doing Good!!  Japanese Eggplant


 Yes my flowers are finally blooming.... finally - and summer is almost done....
HONEYDEW!!!!

This has to be Anaheim Pepper, isn't it??? 
And this IS a green pepper, I know... I usually buy them at the store...






OK - the challenge for the month - keep melon alive!!
Well, if anybody catches eye on this, and can tell me about peppers, please let me know.  I love to roast them and eat it, instead of raw putting in the salad, like sweet pepper...
Thanks!!

Another month and Lookie!!!!

Oh, my goodness - Rain and Sun do wonders for the Veges.  I'm so amazed myself with this - Nothing magical about nature, but when I accomplish something like this, it is something magical (first of all, I have not killed anything since May...)  Here is the another month of achievement.... but first, thank the wonderful lady bug for protecting my veges....




Show off time!! Wow, first harvest...  they grew so quick I could not keep up with them.  Isn't this AMAZING????
I made yummy Zucchini Lasagna and Casserole. mmmmmm... goody!  I will take a picture next time.

 Yellow Squash doing great job!!
Eggplant!  Hang in there....  I'll support you till end!!

 Yap - Green peppers are coming out!!
More Squash! and more........ squash!!

Late start, but I grew more confidence to start Spinach....
Tomatoes!!  They are amazing, aren't they???



Honeydews!  Looks like weeds!!  I have some flowers, but I don't know... started to worry.  Can I get some melon this year? or just flowers and nothing else to show???  Well, it is still alive, though...



So here I go - I have not fed any chemicals nor pesticide.  Some of the leaves are eaten by bugs, but doing OK.  I try not to use any chemicals at all this year (I'm afraid I might kill veges...).  Just natural Sun and Waters for my garden.  Hope I get more pictures of wonderful fruits (you know what I mean....).  Keep finger crossed...  Cheers!!
