Fruiting

What do you get when you pick a pepper, a cucumber, and cherry tomatoes from your garden?  

Lunch. 

I worried all spring that I wouldn't have a garden. It went in a month late, and our growing season is fairly short here. 

But the zinnias are blooming, the sunflowers are getting tall and starting to bloom, the tomatoes and peppers are beginning to ripen, and above you can see my very first cucumber of the year. 

I diced up the cucumber, tomato, an pepper, then mixed them with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper. Delicious.
