More pepper!

This little guy was there to greet us upon our return home at the end of Memorial Day Weekend. Only a matter of time now before we're eating tons and tons of veggies from the garden.

The chili peppers have some buds, too.

The second batch of cucumber plants look pretty good.

So does the squash.

The peas are all about 18 to 24 inches tall, reaching up to the third row of twine on their new support system.

Carrots are about 4" tall, needing to be thinned out a bit. I need to do some research to find out how far apart the plants should be after thinning.

The garlic's about 24 inches high, growing well.

Chives are flowering. Supposedly you can put the flowers in salads, but I've never tried that myself so I can't vouch for it.

The tomatoes, even though they don't quite need it, got some cages this weekend. There are a few flowers here and there.

The lettuce is getting huge.

The self-sown Dill patch is as thick as a forest.

The basil looks like it hasn't done much yet, but I think they're just waiting for super-hot days before impressing us.

Cilantro, ready for salsa anytime.

The Blueberry Bushes are loaded with green berries. Time to build some protection from birds ...
