Seeing orange

I’ve been harvesting more carrots. Half this bunch was cooked up with some bbq pork chops and the other half was eaten raw by Dave (his favourite way to eat carrots). I do have to be careful when I harvest them though…

We’ve got a new bunch of swallowtail caterpillars munching away on the greens.

I am excited to finally announce, there WILL be pumpkins!!! They are still very small, but it’s nice to see them at all.

Something weird is going on in my cucumber patch – I got several of these odd cucumbers from one vine. I did get three normal-looking, normal-sized cucumbers too (I just forgot to take a picture).

My beans are actually starting to look a little better – and I’ve even got three beans so far!

The Yellow pear tomatoes are finally ripening and they do look pretty good if I do say so myself! And I’m especially pleased as I’ve finally successfully grown a tomato plant from seed!

And the autumn crop of raspberries aren’t far off! I still have a pile of the earlier ones in the freezer waiting to be made into jam!

It’s so nice to see things doing so well in the garden!

    Hi Valerie If you plant your cucumbers close to squash or gourds you can get cross pollination.  Maybe this is why you are getting strange shapes.  Hope this hint helps for next year. Love your blog, especially the kitties! Marci in North Idaho
