Vegetables

Summer is fun! Summer is time for gardening for some people who like to do it. Like my father-in law, he planted a lot of vegetables this year just in their backyard. They spent time in cultivating the soil, planting different kinds of vegetables and enjoying, fixing dishes with fresh vegetables from his garden. When time of harvesting, he shares to us , to his friends and neighbors. I'm happy to name all kinds of vegetables he had planted this year. They are; tomatoes, yellow squash, onions, cucumber and the rest are shown below; okra, all kinds of peppers and Chinese pumpkin. In this season, we can save a little bit on our groceries even just for the vegetables only. So, it really helps.
