Here's a quick garden update. It's so hard to update the garden progress....by the time I get the pictures taken, uploaded and the post written, we've eaten the stuff in the pictures, and something new has started growing.
This isn't in the garden, but in one of the new flower beds. It's one of last year's angel trumpets....or maybe it's a moon flower. It popped up on it's own....I guess the seeds found their way across the yard last year. The stems are a super pretty dark purple, and the flowers are light purple on the inside, dark on the outside. It's a very striking plant.

Fall yellow squash (from seed) is starting to produce. It's 3 times that big now....I'm picking it tomorrow.
The Japanese eggplant is still hanging in there, along with the beautiful giant zinnias. We ate the eggplant on tuesday in a pasta-veggie stir fry.
I also noticed 3 tiny (golf ball sized) pumpkins today....no pictures yet. The plant is supposed to be 'compact', but we'll see. I'm pretty sure I'll have fall tomatoes and string beans, possibly kale, maybe jalapeno and doubtfully zucchini. why can I never grow zucchini? Oh, and about 100 poblano peppers, all ready for harvest at the same time.
