This is my Aiden. He loves him some 'maters. Despite his mommy referring to them as 'maters all of his life he has the most perfectly clear dialect for his fave fruity veggie. He calls them tomatoes...with such emphasis on the second T...like Tow-may-toes it's adorable! He'll eat them right off of the plant.
These are 2 of our beds. The tomato plants have to be at least 7 feet tall. They droop over the cages so much that we purchased 9 foot stakes today to help them reach that sunlight.
The cherry tomatoes are huge this year.
The beef,asters are all doing well...
And the Roma's are in abundance!
The green peppers are twice as big as last years!
My 3 lettuce blend is doing good.
Even the super late green bean bushes planted are doing well!
The Cukes are comnig in faster than we can eat them.
We have yet to eat an eggplant. These 2 are coming along nicely.
The Jalapenos are lovely, and we have a lot more than we could eat too. We're going to have to star freezing these, for sure!
Here's part of todays harvest. I think we may need to make some salsa!
Happy gardening!
Oh, I'm so jealous. All those fresh veggies! I was thinking eggplant casserole, tomato sandwiches........goodness. We can't grow a thing in our soil here...just too sad and too sandy. Now I'm going to have to go back and see (again) where you are. Beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteOur soil was poor. We built raised beds and purchased pulverized crushed soil from a landscaping center in Southern Indiana. It's been our best gardening year yet. We plan to have eggplant parmesan this week. :)
ReplyDeleteWow!!! It's doing great!! My tomatoes are finally starting to ripen and I did snag 2 green peppers and some very yummy jalapenos the other night. :)
ReplyDeleteI also do a raised bed and a mix of purchased soil and manure.
Your plants are really doing good this year! I would love to pick those jalapenos and have them for my Mexican recipes! The tomatoes are also delightful! Thanks for sharing this post! MOre please!
