overgrown

When I left my garden almost three weeks ago I did not notice this zucchini, which could not have existed at all or perhaps in bud form.  I picked it this afternoon as it is already too big.  The garden has kept growing and producing and besides the oversized zucchini I also found two cucumbers ready for picking.
The chillies are not quite ready for picking but there are enough green ones slowly ripening.  I use the green chillies sometimes but prefer to let them ripen for the fiery heat.  The jalapeno and Thai chillies (below) will soon be ready for picking, I hope.
There are still baby eggplants on the bushes and I hope there will be enough warm weather to let them mature.  These are ready to be picked.
