eatable on my garden

I did took pictures, but not all ... but in my mind i still have pictures of my cucumber, tomatoes and different squash.... but now these are all i have, better than not having at all...

squash - yes tropical squash maybe, i still have to find out Latin Name for this to be exact, we called this "UPO" in Philippines. Typical filipino dish when stewed cooking with shrimps or minced pork.




newly-planted leek, well, i wasnt able to take pictures of them afterwards because the mint took full control of the ground. They also need space, apparently mint won. Therefore, i decided to kill mint next spring, i dont want them spreading so fast that i can hardly control them.
applemint
spring onions - we all need these
garlic- towering the evening primrose
parsley - thanks to you
super edible - cakes on summer days are not complete without borage as my number 1 decorator !

i love sun-riped tomatoes, but i fell in love with the color of this one !
squash - i still dont understand why they are making a twirl before spreading into a beautiful flower, but i like it... its kinda unique !
so sweet and juicy... my chemical-free delight !
i covered my strawberries with net... looks secured... they were actually.. the birds just looked i guess !

do i have to think twice when i see strawberries ?

a closer look with them



















taking a look unto some of my precious collections... they made me feel like it is still summer ...(impossible to believe though, especially when you see the snow outside and feel the aching rheumatism due to coldness). I should have a different blog describing each of them with their respective characteristics but ... there's a big BUT... i keep on saying and asking who has the time ? but i guess, its not bad looking some of them here.
