You can see a Pepper on this plant.


In the center is the plant I thought was a variety of lettuce, tried a bite and half poisoned myself.


More flowers, notice the red ones in the back they are ones the boys picked out.


The melon patch.  Cucumbers, pumpkins, and watermelon.

 the whole thing

There are sunflower plants throughout the garden.  Left over seeds were tilled in and grew.  Nobody wants to see them die so we left them.  Our plants (and weeds) are very happy.  We used chicken manure and I guess plants like that.  You can see we have weeded the corn and got it mulched.  We had weeded the other sections but didn't have enough mulch and they grew back.  We are about to get another load of grass mulch from the town and back to work weeding this weekend. : )

So far we have picked and eaten 2 pea pods. They were good.
