'mater watch 2009

You knew when I started this first time in-town, front yard, vegetable gardening thing I was going to inflict it on you, didn't you? Well, I didn't want to let you down.

These tomatoes are surprisingly attractive in a sci-fi kind of way, aren't they?

This next one is not technically part of 'mater watch...it's the first vegetable to have formed, though and I thought that got it a place in today's post. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...

the baby jalapeno! (and it's siblings)

I know, it'll be over soon. Just be glad it isn't vacation slides. Here's the first bell pepper ( I planted green, red and yellow).

Here's a reward for hanging in all this way. A lovely lace cap hydrangea blossom...you know, I could've called this the blue and green post.

Check back next week for the update to 'mater watch 2009: will a cutworm attack the vines? will Molly remember to fertilize? and what about those passing dogs? oh, the drama!
