Happy Saturday Everyone! I hope you're all having a great weekend so far, things have been pretty nice around here. Weather has been great, not too hot, not too cold. One of the perks of living in southern California. I realized a few days ago that I hadn't shared any garden pictures so far this year, so I went out and snapped a few.

My garden is nothing to brag about, I've not spent enough time taming it this year. My tomatoes are overgrown, I have weeds along the side of the house... But the peppers are looking really happy and healthy, on the plus side!

First up, my cherry tomatoes that are going crazy and I can't harvest them fast enough:

My cherry tomatoes are very happy this year, which is great because they are great in salads or just straight off the vine. I have several other tomatoes including a Roma variety, it's finally producing a lot of tomatoes as well, and they taste great!

My real pride and joy this year has to be my peppers. Most of the plants I started over from seed this year, last year's plants just weren't thriving after the cooler winter months. My Jalapenos are very happy and producing like crazy:

My Shishito peppers are growing like weeds. I love these things, they are mild peppers that cook up well in most Asian recipes with soy sauce and ginger. Try them out if you get a chance!

I have some climbing string beans as well, they are slow starting to produce, but finally starting to see some coming on the plants!

Last but not least my tomatillo plants. If you like green salsa, this is the main ingredient. These are huge bushes out of control but producing like crazy. I am already roasting and freezing these up for later use.

That's a peak at my garden, at least some of it. I'll share more later on. I do have a bunch of Jalapenos to pickle up this week. I usually share a post when I do. I hope you're having a great summer far, or winter down south!

That will wrap things up for me today. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my mess of a garden. Every year I always try to stay on top of it, but it always seems to get out of hand. But I love the fresh produce right in my backyard! You can't beat it, that's for sure. Thanks for all of you support, and have a great weekend everyone!
