No more cucumbers

Last night I walked outside to enjoy the rain and noticed that my cucumbers were looking pretty sad. Probably, just that time of the season when they stop producing. We haven't had a cucumber in about a week, we were having about 5-6 a week before. So, I got out the garden gloves and trying to pull the dead/dieing stuff off the trellises and leave the pretty stuff. I ended up pulling all of them down. It was too hard to untangle them from each other.

The jalapenos and bell peppers are still doing great!! We are getting about 10-15 jalapenos a week and 3-4 bell peppers every 2 weeks or so.

Last night Aiden and Robert were looking at the garden and Robert pointed out the different peppers to Aiden. Robert said, "That's a Bell Pepper" and Aiden said, "That's a Dr Pepper." LOL too cute. Then Robert would say, "That's a jalapeno" and Aiden would say, "Chile". He definitely has a mind of his own. :)

We also still have beautiful bean stalks with no beans. Who knows.

Front garden and Jalapenos

So, I noticed that I don't think that I ever posted on our progress in the front yard. WOW.

We finally pulled up the Monkey Grass that was in the front yard. They were bigger then your head, REALLY, Huge! My brother came over one weekend and Robert and he pulled them up.

Then, we planted Hibicus and Caladium bulbs. It took the Caladiums a month or two to grow, but finally are looking good. As I was pulling out the drive way this morning I took a moment to enjoy the front yard and took a couple of pictures.

This is a weeks worth of Jalapenos... I'm taking them to work to hand out because 1.) they don't go with a low fat bland diet, 2.) Robert's out of town and won't enjoy them for a couple of weeks and we will have more by the time he gets home. I also need to chop done the basil while he's gone.
