Eating is pretty good in the garden.

The pear tomatoes are ripening fast!

The cucumber harvest hasn’t been as good as last year, but it is starting to pick up.

The Lemon Cucumbers look especially peculiar when they grow. I probably won’t grow them next year – they are small and a pain to peel (Dave prefers peeled cucumbers). But they’ve been fun for something different.

Speaking of different… we’ve ot some cool small gourds growing. They aren’t edible but they are pretty!

I cut up the first ripe Sugar Baby! It was the biggest of the bunch, and you can see my hand there for comparison! Dave declared “It tastes like watermelon”, though he requested I try a seedless version next year. We still have three more on the vine, so he’ll have to deal with the seeds for now.

And last – we enjoyed a nice beef stew this week… with Potatoes, Carrots and Shallots from my very own garden!
