Today's Harvest: PEPPERS
Today I grabbed a small bell pepper and 4 Anaheim chiles from the garden. My husband is making his famous salsa tonight and these are my little (very little) contribution. It is such a cool feeling to eat the food I have grown from the garden.
In other exciting news...
We have a watermelon growing! It is a little larger than a golf ball.
And here is the first cucumber from my 3 wild plants.
I think I have some assassin bugs that have set up shop on my cucumber plants. They are quick so I couldn't get a photo, but they are yellowish-translucent color. They have long, thin legs and a sway-back abdomen. They almost look like a praying mantis but not quite. I have read that while they bite humans, they are beneficial in the garden just like ladybugs and praying mantis. I will update this post if I can capture the little yeti assassins on film.
