The Tomatoes are starting to come in and I hope that if I can keep my plants healthy that I will have fresh tomatoes for the rest of the season. There apparently is a glut of tomatoes for the commercial farmer. So many that some are leaving fruit in the fields. Mine sometimes gets eaten in the garden and almost every time we go out in the garden to work we have someone to walk by and stop to talk and we can give them a fresh cucumber or some other thing right of the bush. Since no pesticides or other chemicals I don't think that you really need to wash.
I have had somethings that have flowered and are past their prime. Those bean plants and some of the squash come out and this weekend we planted more beans and squashes, okra and I have left some room for a few more new potatoes. The Farmer's daughter favors the new potato and the last we put in were followed by a heavy rains and appeared to rot the seed potato in the ground so we will start again.I have two types of tomatoes as mentioned before one is the massive tray that started this post which is cherry. The other is the much larger and very delicious type call Moskvich which if you want to see more you can go to Johnny's seed.http://www.johnnyseeds.com/c-415-heirloom.aspx This is a non-determinate which means that it should keep fruiting right along.
