The green, red and purple

It's very enjoyable for us to grow summer vegetables because we can see colorful fruits as I found green peppers, red ripen tomatoes, purple fleshy eggplants.

My green pepper are so healthy that I've already harvested many of them.





I have payed more attention to my tomatoes this year to make them more delicious. I watered them too much last summer so their taste was weak and watery. I don't water them too much this summer but give them more fertilizer since the fruits started getting ripen. The method seems to work out and my tomatoes this summer are strong-tasting than last ones.





My cucumbers and egg plants are so productive that I have to harvest every day! I don't wanna make them too bigger since too big fruits are not tasty and crispy.

Wow Takaeko, indeed your vegetable garden is so productive, Im jealous! But in our hot climate not to water the plants even for a day, will certainly have them looking half-dead!

Your local weather seems to be hot, p3chandan. We in Japan are also in the mid of hot summer but plenty of rain shower can allow me to reduce daily watering chore.

Hi, Martin. Well, everything coming together means harvesting everything together, right? I have to harvest them together since I don't wanna make them too bigger. Too big fruits are not tasty.

Seeing colorful vegetables can animate us, I believe. How about eating them? Yes it can, too!
