Eat Your Veggies! Our tomatoes are not ripe yet.

Yesterday my husband visited our neighbors to the north. They have ripe tomatoes. She sent some home with him along with some string beans and peppers. These are the longest string beans I have ever seen. Most are as long as my arm. She asked if we liked egg plant and he told her no. He says the purple thing in the middle is a purple bell pepper. I must go ask "Purple Cucumber" if she's heard of a purple pepper. (I hope its not egg plant in disquise.)

My next door neighbors are artists. I love to visit and see all the new things they have going on. They do sculpture, paintings, throw pots, metal work, you name it they can do it. They have remodeled an old farm house into a stucco home such as are found in Italy. They have built a tall cement fence across their property up to our line. All of us on the road hate the fence. We can no longer see every thing they are doing when we pass by...LOL

They also do organic gardening in raised beds (and I mean raised... they can sit on the side of the beds and pick the produce. They also have this huge domed area that they ran the cucumbers and these long string beans on... you can go inside and just reach up and pick what you want.

So in the spirit of "ART", I posed the veggies for this picture.... LOL
