Love your veggie garden tanks Dede.
They are big zucchini s H. Mine are ripening at the moment, and they should do well now as we had good soaking rains this morning and have had plenty of sunshine too. I was going to make zucchini pasta for dinner tonight, but we went out instead.
 I'm hoping that some of my tomatoes will finally be ripe enough to pick this week, and I have been given peaches and apricots from my parent's garden.

Yes, we are lucky. He takes great pride in it and loves sharing the crop with everyone. He especially loves seeing his GD eat beans, strawberries etc straight from the source.

JD you just reminded me of my childhood and all of my late dad's  array of vegetables that've grew profusely at the back of our very long yard, or in Scotland our back garden. Also strawberries and tomatoes. How I miss him  :(

I love looking at the veg pics. They look so pretty:) DH and I were discussing yesterday how most edible plants are also ornamental.  Thinking about putting in more edible plants around the garden.  We have chilli plants in pots in our front courtyard and they are so pretty.  Bought artichokes too and are going to put them in there  too.  Getting some more half barrels for down the paving next to decking out back and will plant some more veg in them.  Sp pleased that the cage over the veg patch has kept those pesky possums out this year.  They haven't noticed the unprotected blueberry plants .... Yet!

Great gerden dede. You have done so well.
I picked 5 zucchinis today totalling 1.496kg in weight  ;D And I also found a ripe cherry tomato that somehow just jumped into my mouth... ???  ;D and more tomatoes ripening! Yay!  :D
Plums are starting to ripen too - shhh don't tell the girls!  ;)
