Tomatoes &c.

I will be needing some mason jars before long! Take a look at these July bearing tomatoes. There's DOZENS of them! There are several long bunches just like this one hanging out from all over the plant.

And not to be outdone, there are several tomatoes on both of my heirloom plants. Green Zebra on the left, Purple Cherokee on the right.

Mm. Tomatoes.

Cherry variety will be ready to eat before long. And the beefsteaks are starting too, but they've got a ways before catching up to the July plant.

Also, I have a pepper coming along already---can you spot it in the picture? Haha. It's much bigger now, these shots were all taken a couple days ago.


My garden is officially a jungle, by the way. The tomatoes have reached the top of their cages. They've begun to grow outwards and into my paths and onto the fencing in some places. I have to finagle my way in to check on the center of the garden; they've climbed into the beans; the pea vines have latched onto them for support. Wildly warm weather is to blame, I tell you!

I have a feeling I will have plenty of cucumbers too... as soon as they start blossoming. 

Pickles anyone? Haha, we will have to see how adventuresome I get.

I sure am looking forward to trying those lemon cucumbers; they're all mixed together with the normal cucumbers, so it'll be a surprise to see what comes on.

Fingers crossed for lots of lemons!

What a dainty little pea pod!

I've been snacking on them when I go out to the garden so much, I may not get to harvest any. :d I'm trying to be patient though, I want to stir fry them up.

Mm, peas.

On a final note, may it be noted that today, June 26th, I went RASPBERRY picking. I picked not a quart, but an entire FLAT.

I let that comment stand on its own! Bluberries are also ripe, but I will leave those for another day. (Assuming they're still in season!)

Mm, berries.
