the melons are getting big! this is one of the watermelons, we ran the vines outside the garden fence and are letting them takeover this section of the lawn.
we also have some green flesh melons. these are also taking over a section of the lawn. we are waiting very patiently for them to mature so we can eat them!
every time we have planted peppers, we have planted too many. we find ourselves with more than we can eat. this year we only planted 3, two bell peppers and one sweet banana pepper. this is the red bell pepper plant and as you can see, the peppers are just beginning to show some color. now that the weather is really hot, they will take off, peppers love hot weather.
this is one of our heirloom tomatoes, cherokee purple. they are a dark tomato, almost a brown color. we are eager to taste them.
one of the things we try to do in the garden is to provide beneficial plants for the various critters that may be in the garden. a few years back, we planted bronze fennel for the swallowtails and this year the plant is huge. all we need now are the swallowtail caterpillars.
