Fruits of the Field

I am very pleased to see the lushness of the garden and look forward to even more vegetables to come.  It looks like this will be the year of tomatoes!

This is Lamb's Quarter, also known as goosefoot, pigweed and wild spinach, is a welcome volunteer in my garden as I get far more greens than cultivated spinach as it is so slow to bolt.  I have used it fresh, steamed, sauteed and even dried, it tastes similar to spinach.

I have a grape vine that I am sure would produce more if I properly pruned it.  But here is a rare sight, a bunch ripening at the same time.
 
This year I am excited that, with the help of companion planted radishes to scared away the squash bugs, I have once again kept vines long enough to grow this personal sized "Moon and Stars" watermelon. 

I am waiting for pumpkin, pepper and eggplants to show some growth they are so small that I don't even see blossoms yet.
