Me and my bad ass tomatoes

Apparently, my tomato plants are pretty bad ass. I had two separate groups of people stop and admire them this evening. Miner has been doing a good job chasing off the rabbits and squirrels, so everything is looking quite nice.


This is the biggest green tomato I could find. I have already picked a handful or two of the little yellow pear ones. But those never made it in the house.


I currently have five 8-ball squash (round, dark green zucchini) sitting in the kitchen waiting for me to make bread or ratatouille or something. I've also harvested 3/4 of the green beans. The basil is going nuts, so if you need some, call me.



Finally, a close up of my dahlia that made it back from the brink...a result of erratic
watering and then its sunny spot on the west side of the deck turning shady when the neighbor's fence went up.

your garden looks AWESOME! when you get some blossoms on that zucchini, pull those puppies off, stuff 'em with goat cheese and herbs and fry 'em up! that is a zucchini plant, right?

LOL...Dad and I had that conversation yesterday afternoon. It would require me to actually fry something, though.

It's an 8-ball squash. Produces round dark green zucchini. Yumm.
