This past Saturday I went out to water my garden and check it out. Wow, what a surprise.  I had not seen any watermelon growing and thought we would not get any watermelon just lovely huge vines.  Much to my surprise there are three growing.  From what I can tell reading about the variety of watermelon, which is a Sugar Baby it is close to being ready to pick.
The cabbage keeps growing bigger and bigger.   I think I will pick one in two weeks.  I have 7 or 8 so I need to start eating them.  They will keep growing until a frost.
I picked three peppers off the pepper plant.  The basil and parsley needs to be cut back.  I am going to make pesto and  tabouli using quinoa instead of bulghur. Tabouli is a traditional dish from Lebanon which is where Joe's great grandfather came from. 
What a surprise that there were this many tomatoes ready to be picked and I had not seen any.  They were hiding down under all the leaves.  I picked 7 more this morning.  We will be enjoying lots of tomato dishes in the coming weeks.  I love to slice the tomatoes and sprinkle Feta cheese and fresh basil drizzled with olive oil over it.  I can eat tons of tomatoes that way.  So good!
