reaping the fruits of my labor

might i remind you of my mini garden that we started at the beginning of the summer?

i'm very proud to say that we've actually seen some veggies grow in our garden this year! allow me to introduce some of the players:

the lovely mrs. tomato (we've had a lot of mr. tomatoes too, but trust me, they all look the same. no offense tomatoes)

mr bell pepper, the old so-and-so


and, of course, the sultry miss jalepeno


you might notice that our garden had a theme this year. only veggies that are red were allowed to grow. all other colors immediately died.

another theme that might not be so immediately obvious (but makes sense given the mini garden they came out of) is that they all look like this compared to a regular sized apple:


what in the?? i keep telling the boy that we should open a stand at the farmer's market next year called the mini flagg farmlet. we only sell mini veggies. i really think it's what people are looking for.

on the one hand, you can't deny how cute those little guys are! on the other hand, i'm starting to really worry about what in the world kind of baby i'm capable of cooking up...
