Garden update & Harvest 7/20/14

 7/20/14 -  A big fat Black Beauty zucchini, perfect for shredding or baked dishes

 7/20/14 - I was mistaken! I kept referring to this plant as my Chocolate habanero plant, but I now realize it's my Chinese 5 colored pepper plant! Two more colors popped up ^_^
 Heat (Scoville): 5,000 - 30,000 | Peppers are hot, grow upright, and turn either purple, cream, pale yellow, orange, or red when mature. Plant has green stems with purple markings, green leaves with purple veins, and purple flowers.

  7/20/14 - I believe this one is the chocolate habanero...yet to turn the deep maroon/brown color.
Heat (Scoville): 200,000 - 385,000 | One of hottest of the large-fruited habanero types, 50 times hotter than a Jalapeno! and the favorite pepper in the Caribbean to make barbecue sauces and marinades, with a unique rich flavor unduplicated by any other pepper.

   7/20/14 -  I harvested this guy today

 7/20/14 -Yup...waited too long...if you check out my last photo of this Spinach plant it was full of spinach leaves...now it's a lonely stem! Eaten by little critters of some sort! My contribution back to nature:p
