I planted a lemon cucumber plant near this persimmon tomato plant in order to use it as a trellis to support the cucumber vine. It seems to be working well - the cucumber is climbing up the tomato plant and the tomato plant provides shade in the hot afternoons. The vine is already reaching up over the fence.


There are lots of jalepenos. I picked some for friends, but I don't know if they are hot yet.


Ever wonder how dill seeds are formed? I'm going to harvest these seeds for use.


Loads of tomatoes..I lost count of how many.

On Tuesday, the tomatoes began to ripen.

The tomato plants are clearly over 6' tall. They are getting taller than the stakes.

This is one of the summer squash plants. It's the most healthy one and it's extremely big! It's maybe 4'-5' now and it's crushing everything in its path.

The jalepenos were the first to emerge and there are so many of them.

These must be the poblano peppers! They are just beginning to show their shape.


The bell peppers just began emerging. They are oh so cute.
