okay, so here are a few snapshots of what has been going on in the garden this week...

first, the bush bean flowers...here it is, slightly afar. it grows out first as a bulbous white growth and somehow it just bursts open.


here it is close up. if these flowers are pollinated, the beans will be ready to be picked in two weeks from now.


here is that bell pepper plant, planted where the broccoli was, with a few flowers on it. it seems to have recovered from my overwatering and hopefully soon we will see some peppers! i just water the bell peppers either twice a week or more if the plant seems to be wilting. any more than that is too much.


this is a cool picture. i went out in the garden this morning, just as the sun was rising, and there was dew on everything. on the grape leaves, there were dew drops on each pointed area on the leaf. it was like this on most of the leaves...neat, huh?




remember i talked about one of my "grape" tomatoes (this is plant i grew from seed) ripening? here it is! it is really more of the size of a roma tomato. you could almost fit 3 of those grape tomatoes you can buy at the store within this so-called "grape" tomato.


these are the blue lake bush and soy bean seedlings that i have to start planting this weekend. they are already showing a set of true leaves.


this is what i harvested on wednesday. i gave most of this away. today (thursday) i harvested 2 more cucumbers and 4 zucchinis. it is just amazing at how many zucchinis and cucumbers i have harvested so far...
