Ridge Gourd

This is the first time, I have successfully grown ridge gourd from seed and happy to see I can atleast get a few to harvest. There are a lot of flowers and some are already setting vegatable. I wish we have little longer growing season. Next year, I should start them indoors unlike this year.



2 more eggplants...

joined the harvest list and few more are getting ready.

Harvests from last 2 weeks

They are same old same old....this year I should say stars of the garden are Cucumbers and Eggplants. For the growing area and length of the growing period we have, everything is doing great.

Tiny Ridge Gourd and more...

Baby Eggplants
Finally, I could spot a teeny, tiny ridge gourd on the vine and just hoping that it would stay and grow more before it starts to get cold here. Eggplants are full of flowers and baby eggplants are getting ready. There are also few cucumbers getting big.

Everything is on everything

This time of the year, it so happens that everything is on everything in my veggie bed. I do know that plants also need room to grow but while planting I try to squeeze in different plants that by the end of summer this is what happens.

Some one was here for a visit

Early morning sunday, woke up to see these Mommy turkey and little ones who are here for a visit. We live close to city and don't see muct wildlife except for few squirrels. It was surprise to see this group.

Storyland


We had a lovely visit to Storyland, two weeks back. Its a dream come true for a toddler to enjoy all the rides, fantasies and have fun...This is our first visit and well worth it. They do have family rides where they also allow  infants in lap.

Harvested on Saturday - Aug 13th

                                                                      Sweet Basil, Okra, Baby Chard, Eggplants
A cucumber is missing which we shared it with our neighbor. We have been picking sungold cherry tomatoes almost daily (missing from picture). These tomatoes are like instant treat for my toddler. I made a mistake of picking those 2 eggplants early as I thought they were little prince variety, these would have grown bigger.

Its harvest monday @ Daphne's Dandelions! Check out wonderful things growing and harvested.

Always amazes me..


The way bridges are constructed, so that they raise to give way to boats and ships and close to support road/rail traffic.
