First Artichoke Flower.

One of the two Artichoke Green Globes is flowering. And one of the two surviving yardlong bean plants is fruiting. Well, at least I managed to eat some home-grown beans, just a few but still satisfying. They are fresh and crunchy, compared to those softie ones from markets.
My first Okra, or lady's finger. Hmm...yummy and fresh straight from the plant. Just a simple blanching in boiling water and right into my mouth. ;)
I am collecting a good bagful of red Chilli Fire. This year the plant has a head-start since I preserved it so well last winter. Loads of green chillies to pickle, loads of red chillies to freeze.
Tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes plus eggplants Floriana.
More tomatoes, green chillies and last 3 sweet corns.
We harvested our 2nd, 3rd and 4th spagetti squashes to give away to friends.
