Cottage Beach Veggie Garden Update.....

 I was tickled pink...

Or ...

Tickled yellow...

Or...

Tickled green...

When I searched my HUGE veggie patch on the beach...

I was elated...

To find...

First...

On Thursday...

2...

Fully ripe...

Quite large...

Absolutely...

Beautiful... 

CUCUMBERS!!!

Just look at these babies!!!

I have never grown cucumbers before...and a few "people" were skeptical...

But I proved them wrong!!!   YAY!!! In your face!!!

  
 And....by the look of these sweet little yelllow flowers...

There is WAY more to come...zucchini...and the biggest surprise of all...

Wait for it!!!








 WATERMELON!!!

Can you believe this???

There is also some Cantaloupe in there somewhere...

I can't explain how darn excited I was!!! 


Look at the size of this last guy!!!

I wonder how big they will get...

Or...

If I go back next week...

And they "fell" off the vine!!!

What the heck???

Must be positive...

Looking forward to a HUGE harvest!!

HA HA HA!!!



What are you all growing in the veggie department???

Oh....Except for you Kris...***smiles***...she has the most amazing garden...but of course...she lives in sunny hot California!!

Hope you all had a great weekend...

I have been AWOL for a lot of days...need to catch up on what you all have been up to...

I have plenty of great pics to share...

Enjoy the rest of your evening...


                                Cheers!   :o)

  2. I envy you. The woodchucks ate all my vegies! Living here on the shore, woodchucks are just part of the "territory". I will enjoy your harvest since there won't be one here this year! JC

  7. I hope your watermelon is yummy! I don't think we're going to get any this year. The plants look healthy, but I haven't seen any fruit yet.
