Veggie Baby Pictures!

My yardwork companion, Gracie (with eggplant), ever vigilant in sneaking into both the garden and the picture.

Took advantage of a rare cool day to inspect the garden and was very pleased to see actual "fruit on the vines!" It seems as though its been a long wait this year, but things seem to be developing quickly. I further tribute to my need to accrue silly hobbies, I took it upon myself to snap some "baby pictures," (though some of them--like Mr. Green Bell Pepper--are well on their way to soon being plucked. It occurs to me that these pictures represent a perfect storm of sorts--my poor gardening and photography skills merged into a single tribute to a Forrest Gump-like ability to wander into beautiful things--enjoy!

There is something beautiful about a vegetable that grows and doesn't look like the plastic ones they sell at stores.

If we're fortunate we'll grow enough of these to last until chili season in the fall.

Cucumbers--these bad boys have already found their way into a few salads.
