Fruits, Vegetables, Weeds and a Bug

I've spent many hours over the last few days weeding my garden.  It finally looks like I'm cultivating fruits and vegetables instead of weeds.  :-)

Yes, I do realize there are still a lot of weeds.  ;-/  But I do like these wide shots since they allow me to see the garden changing as the weeks go by.  That huge plant to the right of center is a cucumber.

Most of the plants have fruit on them.  Check out these tomatoes.

I had planted 9 Roma tomatoes in hopes of having enough to make and can sauce this summer.  So it looks like we are finally on our way.  :-)

The beets are supposed to be ready to harvest, but Hubba wants them to get bigger.

Most of the squash plants have fruit er veggies (?) too.  I think we will be able to harvest a few zucchinis and yellow straightnecks this week.

Here are a couple of squash blossoms for your viewing pleasure.

I harvested some basil yesterday and made pesto from scratch for the very first time. :-)  I would share a photo, but we put it on a pizza with grilled chicken and ate it all before I remembered to fetch my camera. It was delicious.  :-)

I found several of these guys while I was weeding. I think they're soon to be cicadas, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know?

Finally, while I was weeding my garden this weekend, I was daydreaming about having a booth at the Farmer's Market. giggle.  It sure would be fun.  :-)
