The garden is exploding!  Ripe, meaty tomatoes and pungent basil...



...and beautiful cherry tomatoes called Mexico Midget--the best tasting small tomato you can grow!



These beauties will soon be pickles.



This year, we decided to grow the cucumbers on trellises and cages. 



Since they are vines, space is maximized by growing them vertically.  Also, the cukes grow straighter too.  Here's our second crop planted just two weeks ago!  This trellis is about six feet tall and works great with the peas as well.



Lots of hot peppers too!



We just discovered another nest in the garden--right smack dab in the middle of a tomato cage!  A tiny cone shaped nest that's intricately woven with various materials from the garden, it's home to three tiny speckled eggs.  We haven't seen the mother yet, so we have no idea what kind they are.  If you recognize the eggs, let us know!  We'll keep you posted.

Oh, I am so, soooooo jealous! Both of the beauty of your garden (looove that first pic) and the quantity of your veggies.

They look like they could be cowbird eggs. And I, too, am very jealous of your garden. I can practically smell that basil...:)
