I wanted to take some pics of my colorful spicy bowl of peppers. I find that I cannot use them fast enough. 

My girlfriend snapped this one the other day... love the contrast and color

just a shot of the garden plot as of end of July 2012.  On the right on the fence is the grapevine.  Most of the plants in the picture are peppers and tomatoes. As well as some pumpkin & squash vines.

These are just a few heads of garlic I picked the other day.  With these the portion of the plant above the soil was already dead or about to be dead. I couldn't just yank these by the above the soil part of the plant. Instead I dug them out by hand from under the surface. I still have a few heartier plants in the ground. Those left in the ground are still green and I expect that they are still growing.  I'll wait until I notice them dying off before I uproot. After removing from soil I washed them off under the sink and placed on the window sill to dry them out.
