After last weeks thankful rant - I thought it would be good to keep this one short. Today's Thankful Thursday is dedicated to the fruits of my labors... nope not talking about my kids this time - but my garden.
I am thankful that finally after a few weeks of fickle Ohio weather - I have had some real success with my cucumber plants. In the course of one week I went from having a few 1 inch green poopers to having harvested FIVE 7-8 inch beauties. I am also thankful that my tomatoes have really been fruitful as well. Though I must say in the past week or so a deadly disease has hit my large tomato plants making them die quickly- RIP. My cherry tomato plants have thrived and are producing like bunnies in the springtime. This adds much to the delight of my tomato eating offspring. I must also add that although I am thankful for the four pepper plants I have - I am decided against doing them again - they produce to little - to slowly for my patience.

I am beginning to beleive that even the most green of thumbs has a hard time with their peppers. Last year our one plant produced two--yes, just two--of the most ridiculously pitiful peppers one has ever laid eyes on. My dad can't get them to gorw either...although, I think he did in CA.
I am totally jealous you have such a beautiful yard, awesome garden, and a home. Lucky you!
Those are GORGEOUS! Congrats on your green thumb. You should make a tabbouleh (middle eastern salad with bulgur wheat, tomatoes, and cucumbers--delicious).
