The Garden of Reds and Greens

Wow! Two posts in one day.

I just went out to water the back garden and discovered a marvellous sight! The garden is fruiting like crazy.

The chillies, which have been hanging off the tree like big green bananas, are finally turning red. I was able to pick two but more will be ready by tomorrow. There are so many the poor chilli tree looks like it can't hold the weight anymore. I think by the end of the week I'll have almost 30 big red chillies! Chillie Jam I think... or maybe...

The Roma tomatoes are also plump, and juicy, and red....

And the capsicums have a great mix of reds and greens.

By the end of the week I'll have enough of all of the above to make a Salsa! Yeah, that's what I'll do :)

There were also some Strawberries too! Not many, just enough for me to sample their deliciousness whilst I watered the rest of the garden :)

Your posts are making my mouth water! Except the part about tomatoes. I guess I should go and check on dinner.
