Very well thanks. This year since I finally had a good amount of land to plant in, we decided to experiment with a little gardening. It the front yard garden beds I planted some lovely spring flowers . . . which unfortunately mostly got eaten by little creatures and now looks kind of sad.
Then there's the back garden with vegetables. That has just blossomed and done amazingly well! I planted 3 kinds of tomatoes: sun gold cherry tomatoes, Black Tula Heirloom, and Red Heirloom tomatoes (gift from a friend). They became mutant and began taking over the whole garden patch! Just look at how big they are!
Then there is a New Mexico Jim pepper plant with mild peppers, a jalapeno pepper plant with some moderately spicy peppers, and a Habanero pepper plant which has yet to produce fruit. We also planted one little strawberry plant which is now growing nicely but will need a few years to establish itself and really produce nice fruit. Also, one bell pepper plant which has already given us some nice peppers. Lastly, there is our gigantic cucumber plant which has been producing insanely large cucumbers - just look! We have discovered that the larger they get the better they taste, so we're letting them go wild (which isn't hard to do - I turn around and there's huge ones after only 4 days).
Our cucumber next to one of the steak knifes for comparison. Huge right?
