I haven't picked them in a couple of days and, since I took the day off from work, I decided to get caught up. I've been doing a good job keeping the cherry tomatoes eaten (I take them to the office with me as an all-day snack). But, this time around, I might have to share. A lot of these are really ripe and I just don't think I can get through them all by myself. In addition to the cherry tomatoes, I also managed to get about a half-quart of green beans, another bowl of Roma tomatoes (I've been giving those to my parents so they can include them when they are canning) and, for the first time ever, some potatoes (I'm not regretting not planting more hills). Sadly, I think the gardening season is going to end early this year. The plants are already turning brown so, before too long, I'm going to be forced to just pull everything up and prep the garden for winter.

It's not much, but I managed to get some out of my garden today (mostly peas and green beans). Considering we've been getting so much rain and cool weather, I'm willing to take what I can get this year.

I went out to water and noticed a hint of orange in the cherry tomato plant. I pulled out two and it looks like I'll have some more by tomorrow. I'm actually pretty excited about this. I love cherry tomatoes and garden fresh ones are the best. In fact, these two are already gone, though I was nice and gave one to my wife.
