{ Cheese ‘n Pickles }

I did some work in the garden this morning, mainly to tame the growing tomato forest.  One of the biggest surprises has been the vigorous growth of a single cucumber plant (the variety is ‘Japanese Climbing’).  It is taking over the middle area of the garden.  One of the shoots it has sent off is at least 9 feet long at the moment.  I’m trying to send them up the clothesline ladder in the back of the plot.  We’ll see how that works out and how tall they get.

That’s 2 lbs. of cucumber, 11 oz. of Asian egplant, and 4 oz. of ‘Painted Pony’ green beans.  The orange pepper is a ‘Bulgarian Carrot’ hot pepper and the small purple flowers are from some Thai basil.  Heather has her eye on an Asian-style meal.
