A ripening tomato and peppers!

A ripening tomato and peppers!
We have some cayenne peppers ripening. Yes, a couple of our peppers are turning red and will soon be ready for harvesting. Then we'll dry them out and grind them up into pepper flakes for spicing up some of our favorite dishes! We also have a couple of habaneras that are growing nicely.

A tomato is ripening on our Charlie Brown tomato plant as it's been called. It's just one tomato but considering we only have two , (the other is a tiny green cherry tomato) it's a small success.

Our cucumber plant has lots of blossoms and our cantaloupe and watermelon plant have blossomed. The green bean plants are small but they are blooming, too.

The sunflower plants continue to grow. They're about 18 inches tall now but no blooms as of yet.

The squash we transplanted several weeks ago is growing but the one blossom we had on the zucchini has fallen off. Don't know if we'll see any fruit from those plants.
