My Summer Bounty ........

Here is a peek at my Summer Bounty from my Kitchen Garden!
Enjoy!
.

Can you guess what beautiful vegetable will emerge from this?



One more glimpse for you to guess



Bell Pepper waiting to turn RED



Eggplant ready to be plucked, I made sambar from the first harvest :)



Cucumber, getting there..................



Roma Tomatoes, Basking in the sun.....


Mint, ready to spread it's wings...


When shall I see thou? Cantaloupe


Okra, stuffed okra? may be Bhindi Alu? or will it be Bhindi-do-Pyaza :)

    hmmmmmm Zucchini is a squash, so I am right.... :D

    Zucchini (IPA: /zu'kini/, in North American and Australian English) or courgette (IPA: /kʊə'ʒɛt/, in New Zealand and British English) is a small summer squash.
