How does your garden grow?

This year, my garden grows lots of leaves, lots of blossoms, and not much else.  It’s beautiful, just not very, umm, fruitful.

Today, we enjoyed a rare harvest from our garden, a juicy cantaloupe.

Why have I never planted cantaloupe before?  I don’t know. Because home-grown cantaloupe is delicious.  :)

So, what else is growing in our little backyard garden?

Squash – with lots of blossoms, but something out there thinks that squash blossoms are pretty tasty.  I agree.  :)

Peppers – several varieties.  We’ve gotten several jalapenos, a couple of poblanos, and this is the first bell pepper. 

I’m very excited to try this beauty.  If this watermelon is as tasty as the cantaloupe, then we are in for a nice summer treat.  :)

There are a few more cantaloupes on the vine too, and maybe a few more watermelons will show up before the season ends?  We’ll see.

And who knew that chive blossoms are so beautiful?
