The sun and heat of the summer has been wonderful for our garden this year. We just started our second planting of corn and peas - peas are already showing the signs of the first flowers and corn is likely to be producing mid to late September... we are indeed lucky to live in such a lovely climate!
And suddenly, we've got tons of these little guys! Who knows - we may end up with a bumer crop of watermelon!
The hot pepper plants don't look very good, but they keep pumping out hot tasty peppers so I won't complain.
Habaneros are getting ready to ripen! Yum!
And our great success story - sweet peppers in their own fancy screened in porches. They are flourishing!
I'd be remiss if I didn't introduce this most recent visitor to our garden - I believe he's aSan Diego Alligator Lizard!
He's about 15 inches long - and, though I think he does have a fairly nasty bite, he's not aggressive nor poisonous. And, most importantly, he won't eat my plants. So he can stay. ;-)
Come on back next week to see what another week brings - in the meantime, check out An Oregon Cottage for her weekly Garden Party.
