Bush cucumber
Lots of flowers, only one cuc so far!
Swiss chard
With a little bug heart eaten out on the lower leaf. I am an organic gardener.
IMHO swiss chard tastes lke grass, no matter how you prepare it!
I don't think I'll grow it next year.

Your plants look beautiful. I have never had chard. The cucumber flower is pretty. Great shots, have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteThis cucumber flower is beautiful, Karen. I wish they lasted longer, but then again, if they did, we wouldn't have cucumber, would we??? :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the Swiss chard. Don't like it at all.
Happy Sunday to you!
I have only a few wee cucumbers but lots of flowers too and yet my friend a few blocks away is already eating cukes!
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks so healthy and lovely.
ReplyDeleteYes, Beautiful pictures, gorgeous colors in the flower!
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos! love the cucumber flower.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures of the cucumber flower and the "heart"!
ReplyDeletelove the bright yellow flower. the veggie in the second photo looks like "alugbati", also called Malabar spinach here.
ReplyDeleteI think the chard looks like it would taste of grass!
ReplyDeleteHaving said that we have a spinach recipe where the spinach "melts" into a lamb curry - and then even spinach does not taste that bad!!

PS: ankle will keep me off rough ground for at least another two weeks - sad face!
This is one vegie that produces a glowing flower! Love the details of those healthy leaves.
ReplyDeleteThey will be so fresh and yummy!
ReplyDeleteHope you get more than just one cucumber. :)) I love Swiss chard but I suspect we don't all taste things the same way. Your plants look healthy.
ReplyDeletemagnificent macros! I've never tasted chard, and I'm less likely to try it now. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, the cukes will come--in abundance--trust me!

ReplyDeleteThe answer to your question: How does your garden grow? is Wildly :)
Have anice evening :)
My garden is doing great too. Yours looks very healthy. I have not planted swiss chard for I do not know how to cook it ^_^ Instead I planted broccoli and collard greens and I am loving it. Great shots thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeletecucumber flowers are beautiful ones. Nice catch.
ReplyDeleteI love cucumbers but didn't grow any this year. We do have lots of tomatoes. Nice shots from your garden.
ReplyDeleteNature has beauty everywhere...lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteLol grass...lol
ReplyDeleteYour garden makes for beautiful pictures. Someone told me once that Swiss Chard has a nice earthy taste (in other words, it tastes like dirt). I actually don't mind it though. Just stir-fry the tender leaves in oil and butter until they wilt a bit. I also put it in a crustless quiche and we like it. It tastes earthy ;>)))
ReplyDeleteGreat macro`s. I happen to like our swiss chard! Looking forward to our one and only cucumber.
