If you are Sylvia and live under the same roof as I, the answer is:  “Very well thank you.”  Let me show you what I mean.

The yellow zucchini are producing like . . . well, like zucchini.  Plenty for us and a lot of our friends too.  We couldn’t find the green variety, so we are enjoying these this year.  They are good.  Good and prolific.

The newly planted asparagus is doing well.  Marigolds also inhabit our garden.  We like their beauty and bug-repelling properties.

Lots of cherry tomatoes coming on.  Sylvia has already picked one, which she ate and enjoyed.  It won’t be much longer . . .

Winter squash is taking over its corner of the garden.  Vines are growing everywhere.  Some of them are trying to sneak through the fence.

Peppers are growing.  We’ll be picking the first ones very soon.  More to come.  I believe these will turn red before they are ready to harvest.

Can you see the cucumber?  It’s large and fills most of the picture.  Later, I went out with Sylvia and a plastic bag.  We picked 10 cucumbers that needed to be taken.  They weighed 10 pounds!  Oh, and they taste great!

Sylvia will taking her father on a 10-day vacation soon.  That’s when the green beans will be ready to harvest.  It happens that way every year.  No problem.  I put on my Michigan redneck jeans and kneel beside the plants to pick the beans.  The arthritis is so bad these days that I can’t do it by bending over.  I wouldn’t last five minutes.  I don’t mind the kneeling, and the reward is worth the pain that it causes.

My Jeans

The picture yesterday was not of my own jeans.  They don’t get the chance to get that dirty.  Okay, they do get dirty, but end up in the wash soon thereafter.  Yesterday’s post was an attempt at some tongue-in-cheek humor.

Hope you have a great weekend.  Enjoy yourself.  It’s summer after all. 😀
