The Garden is Giving us Yummy Treats!

I'm so excited for the progress that my little garden is making! (Pretty good for my first attempt at growing things!) 
I haven't gotten to eat a watermelon yet, but they are growing away- getting bigger everyday! 
I even managed to grow peppercinis (although what I will do with them, I have yet to figure out). 
I'm still trying to grow Brussel Sprouts, but so far they just look like a heap of cabbage. Which is disappointing- but I still have a bit of time before the first snow. 
My strawberry plant finally decided to read the memo about fruit, and they are Amazing!! 
My cucumber plants are doing well but I'm not getting the yield I was expecting- I think next year I will change their position in the garden a bit. 
I even have 3 happy little cantaloupes!  They are resting underneath some protective chicken-wire to keep them safe from predators! 
 I think this is one of my garden predators, I killed him with borax and honey. And today the rain helped to teach him how to float.  I hope he didn't bring friends. 

Happy Gardening!!
