More #ContainerGardening pics.

I think I should make myself a "teeny tinies" salad out of mini cukes and cherry tomatoes. Or maybe a pearl bocconcini salad with the gorgeous Genovese basil. Hmm.

Also, it looks like the Liso Kolkata gourds are starting to fruit. Turns out that despite the name, Liso Kolkata, Cucumis anguria, is African, not Indian. 🤷🏾‍♀️

And some bonus Scotch bonnets, just because.

And it's starting to rain without my having finished brush-pollinating what I must. Gah. Back to work!

Three little green scotch bonnet peppers peek out from under their canopy of leaves.
Many cucamelons, aka mouse melons, which are actually just tiny citrusy-tasting cucumbers, dangle from a plant. What you can't see from this picture is this plant has gone wild, climbing across multiple tomato and melon plants.
A dark gray pot hangs with a cucumber like vine growing within. A few tiny proto-cucumbers hang from the plant, along with a spray of yellow flowers, and yet another deep red shiso plant, which has rudely inserted itself everywhere from last year's seeds.
