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.

Cucumbers, Squash and Basil oh my

What I pulled from our garden this morning:

3 Large Cucumbers

1 Large Squash

I also chopped back the basil. Robert usually does this, but since he's out this week I didn't want the flowers to keep growing and making the basil bitter, so I chopped them all off. (Which is almost a weekly thing)

Garden week??

Everything seems to be growing well. We now have jalapenos growing (20 at last count), 4 cucumbers, multiple squash, 3 Roma-Grape Tomatoes, beans are blooming, lettuce is growing, and all that jazz! The only thing is that I've had to move some plants around b/c our squash was taking over the garden. This was crowding the bell peppers (which aren't growing yet) so I moved them up. Let's hope they survive.

Let me take you on a tour of our back yard gardens...

One of the side gardens in the back yard with Elephant Ears, Caladiums, Monkey Grass and a few flowers.

Cucumbers are growing like crazy. We currently have only 3 or 4 cucumbers growing, but we have lots of flowers. Also, in this garden are carrots, pepper plants and marigolds.

Our pretty Hibicus Tree (I killed the last one, b/c I planted it in the ground and then was too lazy to dig it up, so it didn't survive the winter. This one will stay in the pot and go in the garage during winter)

This little garden is mainly Nana's creation. It has flowers, a mini rose bush and those orange flowers that grow tall and I can't remember what they are called.

The Veggie Garden.

Squash, squash and more squash.

Bean Stalks, we have bean flowers, but no beans yet.

Middle of the garden, peppers, lettuce, marigolds, LOTS OF BASIL. (Robert cuts the basil about once to twice a week and it still is growing flowers and getting larger!)

Jalapenos!

Tomatoes.

We finished out this side of the back yard garden a couple of weeks ago. It still needs more stones to finish it out completely, but looks great! This is all flowers. (Please ignore the dirt in the grass, we are growing more grass!)
