The victory garden is in full swing. We have daily harvests of zucchini, yellow squash, beans, peppers, a variety of herbs, and cucumbers. As expected, the harvests are increasing in size. Today's harvest (pictured below) produced a sink full of vegetables, strainer full of beans, and one lonely pepper.
I have some good news from the eggplant patch. We officially have a SECOND GENERATION EGGPLANT growing in the garden! Woo hoo! Remember my post,
Transplanting and Mulch, about the eggplant that survived winter? That eggplant has grown exponentially and is now giving birth to three eggplants. There are over ten flowers on the plant and I hope to see everyone turn into a delicious eggplant by the end of the summer.

All of the eggplants grown, from seed this season, have begun to push out flowers or fruit. I envision lots of BBQ eggplants and eggplant lasagnas filling my table and tummy later this season. YUM!

The strawberry pot is doing very well. Each day I pick two to four large strawberries, rinse and freeze them. So far I have 1 1/2 quarts of frozen MVG strawberries. These frozen berries taste great in homemade slushy drinks or strawberry jam. I hope to have the second quart bag filled by the end of July.
