The veggie garden is bearing fruit. I picked this cabbage today
and made a cole slaw to take to dinner this evening at my sister's house. It was delicious! The cucumbers are showing
and the flowers are filled with bees. The beans are also flowering. They are the purple beans which change to green when they are cooked.
They are easier to see on the vines for picking purposes but aren't the flowers a pretty color? The pepper plants are fruiting
as are the tomatoes. I planted many different kinds of tomatoes.
This one is 'Green Zebra' and since it never turns red I am wondering how I will know when it is ripe. Anyone have any thoughts on this? The best observations today had to have been this tomato
and also this one
which is 'Red Lightening'. I have not had color on tomatoes this early in many years. I feel as though I have won a prize!
