Here is today's harvest.  This is the second of this size.  The beefsteak aren't producing like the little ones.  They also aren't maturing as well.  

Anyone want a tomato?

Peppers are doing just as well. A few more days and they will be ready.  

I remember always thinking "oh, mom's gonna be home from work in 20 minutes, better get the dishes done".  Well, now I am thinking "Oh Crap! Denise is coming, better clean the roses!"

I have put so much on here tonight that it goes into another page.  Keep going until the date changes.  Have fun.  

OK, here is an experiment.  I found these big tree pots at the tractor show for $5. ea.  I couldn't resist.  I am trying them for a take off on a raised bed.  So far so good, but we'll see later on.

These are cucumbers.  I am going to put some chicken wire in the middle in a cylinder shape for them to climb on.  I'm hoping to grow as much as I can in as little space as possible.  

Here is another experiment.  

In this one I have cantelope and one watermelon.  I know, I know, where are they going to grow?  

Well, I've read that they can fall over the edge, down onto the ground with a tarp under them and do great.  So, we'll see.  The tarp is to keep away the bugs and to make them easy to move if they get too wild.  

I just took one picture, but there are two of these guys just hanging around on the swingset.  18 strawberry plants in all, and although they don't produce fast, they do produce.  

As long as you only need one or two berries for the shortcake you are good for one shortcake every day or two.  :)

The squash are also doing very well.  In the lower left corner is the only zucchini plant I put in.   It's a little smaller since it got a late start.
