Surprises in the Garden

This is the first year I've grown vegetables in addition to flowers, and it's been more fun than I ever expected. Everything surprises me.  Lettuce!  Tomatoes!


Green peppers! Yellow peppers!


Peas, sweet sweet peas!

And, most surprising of all--this (below) is going to be a cucumber. A cucumber!


Be still, my heart.
I apologize for all the !! exclamations !!  I can't help it.
I mean: did you ever grow a cucumber?
