Progress in the Garden

I'm almost ready to pick my first cucumber - this is Boston Pickling cucumber.

The cayenne peppers are turning red. We already tasted them in a spicy omelette the other night, and they are definitely hot.

The first pea pods are forming. Who says that you can't plant peas in mid-June? Here in Michigan the hot weather may never arrive, and you can have peas all summer long!

The Dusky eggplant has blossoms...

And there are plenty of green tomatoes, but I'm still waiting for one that I can eat!

Activity in the Garden: Blossoms, Buds, and Baby Fruit

Here are my cayenne peppers - lots of long green peppers.

The nasturtiums have been so bright and cheery with lots of blossoms.

Sungold tomato- can't wait!

Lots of chili red peppers growing straight up in the air.

A female cucumber flower waiting to be pollinated by bees.  You can see the fruit at the bottom of the flower, which means it is female.  The male flowers are on the same plant and provide the pollen.  Once this is accomplished by the pollinator (me?) then the flower will fall off and the cucumber will develop.

A yellow bell pepper flower.  The plant has really not grown much, but it looks like I may have some peppers anyway!
