Getting more fire cider going, and the whole house

Emma and I had fun hiking around Malad Gorge State

Emma and I had fun hiking around Malad Gorge State Park. It's a great spot to stop for a picnic or a bathroom break since it's just off the Tuttle Exit on I-84. In fact, when driving the interstate, you go over the 250-foot deep canyon, but it's difficult to see due to the angle.
If you go, make sure you visit Devil's Washbowl, where you can walk across a steel bridge that spans the canyon. You'll be standing just over the top of the 60-foot drop Devil's Washbowl waterfall.

I forgot to harvest yesterday, so some of the cucu

I forgot to harvest yesterday, so some of the cucumbers are a it bigger than I'd like.
.
They are Beit alpha (smooth skin) and Boston pickling varieties.
.
I'm not sure if the watermelon (Blacktail) or the cantaloupe are ready yet. They're both miniature varieties, and I've struggled to get the timing on them correct.
.
The tomatoes that are orange are fully ripe, but they're Orange Icicles, so that's the color they're supposed to be. Also, the lighting isn't great on this rainy day. The red tomatoes are a nice deep red in real life.
.
The peppers are jalapeño and shishito. I usually pick the shishito green, but I noticed that quite a few were turning red, so I picked all of those. They're much smaller than in other years that I've grown them.
