Basket of produce

Today we picked some conadria figs, lemon cucumbers, a tomato, and yellow peaches.
Also pictured are some red torpedo onions and some other onions that have been curing in a warm, shady spot outside for several weeks.

Cucurbitaceae - A good family

Went out looking at the cucumber and melon plants today.
I found fruits growing on a lemon cucumber (Cucumis sativus) plant, a white cucumber (Cucumis sativus) plant, and a watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) plant.

Along the front walk

Chipping away at the lawn started along the front walk, near the front door of the house. First a hollyhock, then some lavender and some heuchera, then a kumquat.
The area got expanded and now hosts bush beans, purple basil, and a cucumber. All just a few steps from the front door. I go out for basil almost daily now.
