Today's Picks
I am really getting into the whole raw food movement. To me, the word "cook" means destroy because that is exactly what cooking does. People like the woman below are helping me understand how beneficial raw foods are to health. Raw okra is my favorite and I truly love it.
THIS is how I make a tomato sandwich
Yes, bacon would have been great, but I stopped and thought about it....bacon IS nasty.

Today's Zinnias
Not the best display because I was in a hurry. But wanted to give them photo credit anyway.
Today's Picks
Again, the garden is full of blooms meaning a new massive effort is underway to grow a new set of vegetables. Many very interesting varieties I began with seed that are now several feet tall and will yield in the coming weeks.

Today's Picks
I noticed the tomatoes have entered a blooming phase that was not seen during the epic heatwave. Also noticed a huge tomato plant growth spurt in most plants.
Epic Zucchini
Oops. Overlooked this one! Would have picked when smaller. It was growing out of sight. Is this monster edible? I am going to find out.

Zinnias
Blogger seems to have a problem with posts that have multiple pics. So I will post them individually

Squash will be back soon after plants fully recover from extensive cutting of leaves with powdery mildew. Cut a leaf, many grow back fast.

Red and Yellow Bell Peppers
I think I forgot the red and yellow bell peppers need to stay on the plant as long as it takes to develop color. I got into the habit of premature picking to eat early. The yellow ones are now huge and crossing over from green to yellow.
Third Round of Banana Peppers
This third yield seems to be developing much faster than the first and second. Will compare previous photos' date to determine and if so try to figure out why.
Habanero vs Jalapeno
Oh yes, there is a major difference. I panicked and my mind thankfully remembered the "sugar antidote" theory. I heard a teaspoon of sugar kills the burn. It works for me. Confectioners sugar may work much much better. Will test and report.
