Coming Along

Despite super hot, dry days with temps up in the 90s, the veggies are hanging in there and going strong.  As a novice gardener, I'm always thrilled when my plants start producing healthy, edible fruits.  Above is a jalapeno pepper ripe with two peppers and more on the way.

After I watered this California Wonder pepper today, it attracted a thirsty, little friend.  This pepper's almost ready for picking!

I thought I'd chosen a beef steak tomato plant at the nursery, so you can imagine my surprise to find these tiny cherry tomatoes growing on my potted tomato plant!  Just as well, I love the little ones, too.  They're great to pop in your mouth right off the vine ~ like tasting a little bit of sunshine :)
