My corns started flowering...

And I have been enjoying cucumbers freshly picked from my garden. I eat them with vinegar diluted in water, plus onions, black and red pepper powder, and salt...

I also get onions, as needed for my cooking, from the garden. However, I am not yet harvesting them at this time...

I have also been getting not-so-red tomatoes. Combined with patis, they are the perfect appetizers for fried fish, nilagang baka, etc. Posted by Hello
I was picking wild raspberries in my garden, and I saw this spider... Posted by Hello

Mom said these are coneflowers.

This are nasturtiums, the seeds sof which I sowed last spring when I was quite sure (upon my in-laws' advice) that there would be no danger of frost. My readings said these are edible.

These were the bales of hay on our field. The red thing at the far right is the roof of our house. We had to store these bales of hay at Dad's barn for winter grass feeding of the cows.

My cucumbers are growing fast...

corns were almost blown down by the recent thunderstorm, but I managed to restore them to upright position...

my tomatoes have lots of small green fruits already

Potatoes are so bushy now...pretty soon they will wilt and I will have tons of potatoes for salad.

My carrots have also grown bigger after I have thinned them...

My peppers and onions...

My beet greens which I left behind to experiment whether they will have those bid red tubers which are nice to include in potato salad for color variation.
What could this be? Is this a kind of mushroom that is more advanced than the usual in that they have flower-like growths? I could only surmise it is a kind of mushroom because of the lack of chlorophyll that gives the plants its green appearance...
