This is the yellow squash. The only thing showing fruit at this time With lots of buds. I must say this is my 2nd time gardening and it is the best it has ever looked! I even have lots of bees which I never had!! YEA!

Glendann.. Do you cook and eat the pole beans as you would bush?
And I'm only so neat and tidy cuz I'm dealing with more veggies than I have space for this time around. Trying to get more bang for my buck so to speak!

I think I need to move to Florida in winter in order to grow stuff. 
Your garden is a delight to see. Good luck with all those lovelies growing there. I want a tidy garden too.

Thank you all. It is good to see your own veggies grow and better to eat them when their done! Yeah here in Florida the weather is nice still staying at around 80-90 deg out side. Although we had a cold front for two days where it had dropped to 53 deg. But that is gone now.

Newgrow, beautiful! My garden is now history and the earth covered with compost, but your squash brings back memories of summer's crop. Sunday morning, I had the last of our's in a wee stir fry.
You're doing a good job of gardening.

My container garden is (thankfully) still producing bell pepper and tomato. The strawberry is long gone but the mint I planted a little over a month ago is still spreading out to fill its planter and we get to enjoy a delicious cup of mint tea every so often.
I'll have to remember this next summer when my shoes are melting to the asphalt, maybe it'll give me some small comfort.
