Cute cannon

This is too adorable to pass up, I love it when it hits the lamp light bulb. I want one!

Garden beauties

Hot peppers, green peppers, our first avocados, and of course, Lola. The weather has chilled off quite a bit for October and I'm hoping these green peppers can make it to maturity so I can eat them up! I think the next item on the agenda is going to be a better herb garden. I have about seven rosemary bushes and not much else. I'd like to at least get thyme and parsley in there too. Basil will have to wait for warmer weather, and mint is such a weed that I'll have to find another place for it. Now the only detail is actual time.
I'm gonna need some recipes!

I have to say I'm really happy with our raised garden bed project. A relatively small space has given us quite a bit of food and I'm not even utilizing the space to it's fullest because I'm still getting used to growing vegetables. The eggplants are beyond my biggest dreams for this garden. They just keep growing and flowering and producing. I kinda can't believe it. The plants are big with pretty purple or white flowers and huge leaves that hide the fruit. I bought a variety pack of eggplant seeds so I don't know what all these different ones are but I love that there's purple, white and green ones. I wonder if any other colors will pop up?
