We have now harvested three tomatoes, two black krim and one sweet tangerine.  We haven’t eaten the sweet tangerine yet but the two black krims we cut up with basil, olive oil, and a bit of balsamic vinegar and had over bread.  They were delicious and we can’t wait for more, we have 10 tomato plants total, so I’m sure by September or so we will be sick of tomatoes!  Here are a couple of pictures:

Here’s to a long and lush tomato growing season!

We haven’t provided a garden update in a while, so here is a photo tour of our garden from this weekend.

We did a lot of weeding in our garden this weekend again.  As you can see they have now built a pavilion with a picnic table under it at our garden.  We were a little upset at first because it shades our garden starting around 3PM every day, but it hasn’t been much of an issue, and now Jake can play on it while we are working, notice him in the background of the pic above.

We harvested 17 turnips this weekend along with a boat load of turnip greens.  We still have a few left in the garden but not many now.

One of our tomato plants, the sweet tangerine, has 16 tomatoes on it, and hopefully in a few weeks they will be ripe.

Our scarlet runner beans are starting to run up their strings on the contraption we built.  We weren’t sure if we’d done it right so were very excited that it seems to be working.

Here’s a better picture of a bean plant running up it’s string.

We have brussel sprouts coming up, we may have planted them too late in the season, but we are hopeful they will still produce some sprouts before the first freeze

One of our cauliflower plants is producing a nice little cauliflower.

We have been harvesting our lettuce now that it is getting warmer and have been trying to have salads with pretty much every meal, as you can see we still have plenty more lettuce to eat.

Our onions are getting bigger, and I thinned out some of them I’d missed, so we had those on some salads a few nights ago.

Our carrots are also looking bigger and I accidentally pulled one up and it had a tiny carrot growing.

Here’s one last pic of the whole garden from another angle.
