Green Thumb?

Green Thumb? I don't know quite yet, but we sure are trying.

We have some green beans with blossoms right now. But the peas are being run-out by the green beans; I think they'll hang-on. They have blossoms too.


We also have quite a few tomato plants with fruit (I am happy to say)! Last year we had plants but no fruit! Boo.

The red potatoes look GREAT on top so I hope that means underground things are cooking. And the lettuce is nice and bright about the size of silver dollars - a few more days on that.

Now the three pepper plants are being attacked by bugs... not sure what to do here. The cucumbers are next to the pepper plants and they are doing just fine. Apparently the bugs enjoy peppers!


I am documenting all this because currently the skies are looking kinda' mean and we are in a thunderstorm watch. That is very common here, so no big WHOOP! It has been in the 90s the past few days with the humidity close to 80+... just kinda' nasty. So, a BIG storm could be coming. And if there's hail (the size of golf balls) at least I'll have nice memories of the Garden Of 2011! :)
