… the total weight of all the tomatoes I pulled out of my garden today.

It took 3 bowls to measure the total weight of it all.

I picked most of the bigger non-ripened green tomatoes too, since the temperature here will start falling soon. At least I don’t have to eat them all at once…

I have way too many tomatoes. Who wants extra tomatoes? On the other hand, I have one lonely zucchini growing, and my peppers are very very sad looking. But my tomatoes are GIANT! And I apparently have a striped heirloom variety growing. It’s like a watermato, or a tomelon….

Garden Update!

I have 5 tomato plants this year, this is the most tomatoes I’ve seen on a single branch.

These are the heirloom tomatoes, getting pretty big!!

The only living zucchini plant has bloomed! Three flowers so far.

The lettuce is growing so fast that I can’t eat it fast enough. I’ve been garnishing all my dishes with lettuce. HALP HALP! Eat my lettuce!!!

Plants update

My Strawberries are turning red and they look delicious!

This is a big sucker. (That’s what she said)

Some pretty clovers that bloomed, yes I know this is a WEED and I should probably weed it, but it’s pretty so I took a picture.

My tomatoes are flowering! These are the two plants I planted in early may, the weather has been cool here, so they haven’t grown as big as I hoped.

The beginning of the lettuce plants. Nom nom spring greens!

The peas are flowering nicely. They are climbing the vine I staked for them, and the tendrils are weaving all the plants together nicely. I can’t wait to have some snap peas and then some pea shoots as well!

I hope my one zucchini plant will survive, Freya (my husky/malamute mix) got into the garden, dug up one of the two zucchini plants I just put into the ground, and put her butt in the hole. She loves doing that to keep cool, but obviously it killed one of my zucchini plants. I have two more to plant so maybe I’ll just do that. In the meantime, I’ve roped off the little section of fence that she used to get into the garden so now my plants are safe!
