Veggies, veggies everywhere!

We've been talking for YEARS about wanting to grow veggies.  We've had a few feeble attempts (and a couple decent little pots of herbs) - but tried a little harder this year.  We've got a few pots with veggies in them and... it kinda worked!

VEGGIE #1

 Can you tell what this is?

 Now??

 

An awesome little yellow cherry tomato!  

We've gotten a bunch off this plant!

VEGGIE #2

 These little guys grew really well.

  

And then turned red!  Who knew??

These are Shishito Peppers - not too spicy and fairly small.

When B was out we had them at a restaurant as a yummy appetizer and have recreated it at home!

VEGGIE #3

 The bell peppers were SO CUTE when they were tiny.

 A little bigger...

 But before they turned yellow (like they were supposed to),
some got this yucky spot :(

We haven't actually eaten any yet, but I have faith this will be a check.

So we did learn a lot: pot size, need to fertilize, need to stake them better, light is important (we KILLED some of our poor lil herbs), etc.  Next year, we actually want to make raised beds in the back for even more and fancier gardening.  But let's not get crazy - let's just enjoy the checks from #38 & 40!!
