Bell Peppers and Zuchinne



Our Bell Peppers are doing well right now. They are not producing very much, but the few pepper we are getting are good. We have red peppers and yellow peppers getting their color and we ate a really sweet green pepper the other day. Our Zucchini had a worm attack it and kill most of my plants. I killed the worms by digging them out of the stems of the plants with a pocket knife and then sprinkling dust around the area. A few plants couldn't take the stress and died. Here are a few more pictures of peppers:


Below: I thought I was getting another Zucchini, but this morning, I realized that this is cantaloupe! It grew on one of the crawlers and is hiding under my Zucchini plants. My cantaloupe has lots of flowers on it right now, but this is the only fruit I've found that is larger then a penny.
Below is some fresh Salsa (yes in a Prego jar) that I made from our tomatoes. Curtis recited the recipe from memory. He said he made it a lot when he served in California. It is pretty good. My tomatoes are still producing nicely.

Nothin sweeter then a peach!




This is Anne's hand.
Our Little Tree.
I went out a picked our first peach today. It was juicy, sweet, and ripe and dripped all over the place! I was holding Jane when I picked it and she was doing summer-saults in my arms trying to get it from me. So after I got a picture I let her have it and she immediately took a big, nice bite! She loved it. I put her in her high chair to eat the rest so it wouldn't ruin her outfit or the carpet.
