this little life of mine

Well, the cucumber plants are gone and the yellow squash and zucchini are on their last legs, but the Japanese eggplant, red and green bell peppers and tomatoes are all doing really well:

We already have a bunch of tomatoes sitting in the kitchen patiently waiting to become part of some delicious BLTs I'm planning to make for lunch, and I can see there's plenty more will be ready to pick soon:

I really need to find a recipe for Japanese eggplants:

And bell peppers ... dang! There's tons of them! I think I'll grab a few of the bigger ones and make stuffed peppers for dinner sometime this weekend:

The zucchini and yellow squash plants are nearly finished, but there are a couple promising-looking blossoms on the yellow squash, so we might yet get more of them:

Mom and I are a little disappointed that the garden is fading so soon - particularly about losing the cucumbers when they were just starting to produce! - but we have a ton of produce in our kitchen, so I think we got our money's worth out of these plants:

We have a couple zucchini left, so I think I will make that wonderful zucchini cake recipe for dinner again tonight, then tomorrow I'll deal with a few of those large bell peppers and make stuffed peppers in the crock pot, and for our lunches this weekend it's BLTs! Just look at that beautiful tomato:

So juicy and sweet, and I love that beautiful deep red colour!! Yummy! So much better than store-bought!
