It's so fullfilling, isn't it? I love in the summer being able to go out and PICK DINNER.

When did you plant, you got zucchini and peppers early! My zucchini should be ready in 2 weeks but my peppers (Mexibell) are still short.

Now let's go hug trees.

We planted late April/early May.

I'm not getting peppers on all my plants, just the cayennes now. I have white and red paprika, Thai ornamentals, "pretty in purple" ornamentals with purple leaves, orange habaneros, Holland reds, cornu de toro sweets, and Santa Fe peppers -- and maybe one or two I'm forgetting.

Our porch is like a hothouse, it's a great place to start plants, the zucchini were started in there, then moved outside when it got warm enough, and they've thrived ever since.

You're even growing a human to do the hard labor to maintain your veggie garden a few years down the line! After all, summer breaks from school are supposed to be for kids to do farm labor, right? Better build a chicken coop and get some pigs or something.

Seriously, though, I'm happy for you guys.

No, I'm growing a human to mow the fucking lawn.
