More Food...

This is one of my okra plants. I grew this one from seed and it looks the healthiest. I will probably grow all my okra from seed from now on. If you look back at my old post about my plants, you can see how big they are getting. One is producing a few okras but they are so small, I think they are probably inedible so I haven't picked them yet.
These are my tomato plants and then my bell pepper plant on the side. My tomatoes got a fungus (one hazard of planting them in pots, I think) so they look a little ragged. But they are doing well now and are getting new growth everyday. Again, look at my old post to see how big these guys have gotten.

So this is the momma. It's my biggest plant. This is spaghetti squash. It has really taken off...in every direction. Soon, I won't have much room to plant anything else on that row or the row next to it! But it does have some buds so I should be getting some squash soon!


This is from my tomato plant with the larger variety of tomato. It has also taken off. One day there were flowers, the next nickel sized tomatoes. I definitely have an appreciation now for people that had to do this everyday in order for their family to eat. Pretty amazing.

  1. Isn't it funny that the older we get... it really shows??!! I mean, I got so excited to "spring clean" my house that I blogged about it! Anything in life excites us so much, like a flower that bloomes, birds, gardens, cleaning, etc. We would have never said things like that when we were young. You were a grandma if you liked things like gardening, cleaning, a great sale at the super market! I LOVE IT! I can hear our kids now... "Awww MOM you're so old!"

  2. I'm so impressed with your garden! I only have two of my five original herbs remaining! (One never sprouted; one drowned; and one got eaten by a rabbit.) You have quite the green thumb. Those bell peppers look really good!
