Let the harvest begin!

Where to begin?  June came and went, we took a vacation, summer is here, and my crazy lady bathtub veggie growing is starting to pay off.  It was really startling seeing the garden after being away for over a week.  We actually harvested two cucumbers immediately upon our return, and two more the next day.  It's amazing to me that I started everything (with the exception of the two purple cabbages) from a seed - in the bathtub!

Roxxy likes to help weed the garden :-)

Yep, still the same three little plants.
Audrey III is in the middle -  now the smallest plant of the 3.

The pepper field - full of blooms and mini-peps!

Did I mention the tomatoes are nearly as tall as me?

The cucumbers were just the beginning...  Lettuce, radishes, green beans, onions, and peppers have all been harvested and we are ready for more!  It was a bit disappointing to learn that the purple beans turn green when cooked, but they were still delicious.  If the white pepper looks tiny, it is.  I "accidentally" pulled it off the plant while investigating it.  What can I say except it was tasty.
