Good rains over the weekend! I did feed my eggplant, tomatoes, and pole beans this morning, though.

Four lovely Celebrity tomatoes nearly ready to pick, and a couple dozen more on the vines.

One of my bell peppers is turning red! Yay!

In other news, I lopped off the mulberry branches that were overhanging the driveway, and then I went after the vines covering the back porch wall (it's essentially the front, seeing as it's the only usable entry/exit) and threatening to seal the back door. That Virginia creeper, man . . . Those little suckers (literal suckers!) hang on tight!

Good anger therapy: Tearing on the Virginia Creeper tendrils until a whole lump comes off the shed wall and roof.

But now I gotta rip and tear the bottoms out too and then put it on the burn pile.

Not a big fan of burning stuff without at least using the energy, but no other way to kill this stuff. Unless you mulch it into tiny, tiny pieces, it grows back. For the same reason you can't throw it on the compost.

A wooden shed with yellow paint and a metal roof. It was overgrown with Virginia Creeper that has spread around the garden, is choking the nearby trees, covering another shed and spreading further from there. Much of the plant now lays in a thick bundle of tendrils on the ground, some with green leaves on them. A few dry stalks still cling to the shed where they are growing through the cracks in the wooden siding.

First harvest of bell peppers! (and the first ever peppers I have grown!)

Hopefully, more will come since I harvested these right away when they were ready.

And according to my calendar, my carrots should be done as well, will pull one and see how they look!

A cardboard tote holds seven green bell peppers, freshly picked from my garden. (one is very tiny, about 1/3 of the size of the other peppers)

I try to workout in the mornings before work. 45-60mins of weights and cardio. But my workouts are nothing compared to the physicality of the yard work I do on weekends.

My body is so sore this morning. Like muscles I never knew existed are aching LOL. Can’t believe people do this as a hobby LOL

This is my eggplant. We don't eat aubergine but I think the plant is beautiful, so I don't really mind that it's so far behind schedule, we won't get any fruit this year. It's beauty is all I need.

Photo taken outside during the day from slightly above a young eggplant or aubergine plant with new leaves coming up in the middle, still folded. The mature leaves are rounded with distinct veins of the same medium green colour. The younger the leaf, however, the more purple at its base and stem. As there are leaves of various maturity on this plant, there is a purple undertone to the entire plant.

The bottom of the garden. Confusingly, the garden slopes *up* towards the bottom.
Bottom left the pond. The brick construction on the right is what we call the folly. Bees, other insects, birds and pond dwelling individuals love it. So do I.
Planted to feel and look natural, wild, full and overflowing. Weeds a.k.a. wildflowers are welcome.

A densely planted area in the garden - flowering perennials, ornamental grasses and weeds. I am sorry but there is too much jungle to describe in detail.
