garden update

yes i am avoiding sewing at the moment if you've noticed. there is no ac and little airflow in that room, where all of my equipment is. hot and cranky jessica does not make inspiring or even good work! so i will update you on the progress of our garden! i feel our veggies were off to a slow start as a lot of stuff is just now ripening. we were able to eat our first tomato! we put it in some salsa that billy made for our house church and then i put some on his sammie for lunch today. its a really good tomato, but not as flavorful as smaller ones.
here is the plant it came from. billy has been restaking it a lot since it is toppling over its tomato cage.
our watermelons, squash and beans are going crazy. they are all intertwined, i guess bad placement on our part.here is the first acorn squash, cutie eh?

finally some little tiny watermelon fruits! how ridiculously cute is that?


this an just odd. i have been getting a ton of GREEN peppers from this plant and today i go out to pick a few and there is this......


and lastly some of our green striped tomatoes are ready! i only know this because we asked a farmer friend of ours how you know when they are ready. he said they start turning a bit yellow and obviously feel softer. i'm so curious to taste these lil guys!
