I just came in from the back yard and look what I brought...
Yummy food! This year we planted watermelon, 5 kinds of tomatoes, 2 kinds of sweet peppers, eggplant, onions, and strawberries. We planted the berries too late, and didn't get much at all, but the rest are growing like gangbusters. The watermelon has pretty much taken over the play ground, lol. I was out there cutting it back some right before I picked the food in the photo above.
Do any of you grow food? I'd love to see pictures of your garden, whether it be a pot of herbs in a window sill or a giant plot. Send me some ideas .... and I'll send out a RAK over the weekend to a random winner.
So jealous about the fresh veggies. Every year we say we're going to get a garden in and we haven't gotten around to it for the last 10 years.
No CHA for me. Cutbacks. :p My traveling days may be over. :(

I grow lots of stuff each year. Right now 4 types of chiles, 3 kinds of tomatoes, 2 kinds of basil, rosemary, tarragon, lemon balm and cilantro (which just went to seed).
A good idea is to grow greens - mesclun, or salad greens, that you can cut and they grow up again and you can cut and grow a few times. There are so many varieties and you can grow them throughout the season too.

BTW, you are growing some really pretty veggies. I have only picked 4 tomatoes so far and 2 chiles. I get a bigger harvest later in the season - September and October.

Here's a link to my Photobucket site with pictures of Paradox (my future farm in North Carolina).

I'm a big fan of bamboo poles for staking/supporting plants.
Building the support structure as the tomato grows is quite fun...Zen like.
