Garden Time

No cool adventures like Sandy, Ajdin or Jerry and Ben for me this weekend, however, I have good news from the garden front!  My garden is really coming along this week.  We have had lots of hot weather the last month and it’s really paid off.

Reindeer (being a vegetarian) decided to come down and give me a hand harvesting.  It looks like the green zebra tomatoes we got at the farmers market month ago seem to be doing OK.

The real pride of our tomatoes this year are the heirlooms.  This was a new variety for us, I can’t believe how big they got, I will have to find a great tomato recipe to use with this one.  We had BLT’s yesterday and since our tomato haul is big we might be having them today for lunch as well……If you look above Reindeer's head you can see lots of early girl tomatoes that are almost ready to be picked.

How is everyones garden coming along?

Garden tour.....

I put a sign up at the mailbox offering behind the scenes garden tours today at noon. I had no takers, hard to imagine but it is there lost. I decided to take a walk and visit the garden myself.  What do we have hear? Looks like the trees are growing well. This one is my plum tree. 

Next stop, the wildflower seeds. We planted these seeds about a month ago. I am hoping for abundant wildflowers, right now they look like weeds. 

Time to visit the tomatoes. They look good, I can't wait for them to be ready to eat. Should I have a basil, tomato, mozzarella salad or a BLT?  Why not both.  Hmmm, I need to get some basil ASAP. 

This one could use some help. It's a green zebra tomato. I really like the name I better supervise my roommates watering schedule to make sure this one gets healthier soon. I lost two tomatoes on my watch last year, it was a sad day to be a garden supervisor. 

Final stop on my garden tour, the roses. I don't know how they do so well. I never have my roommates water them, they only clip them back in March. I guess it's a mystery to be solved another day.
