First Harvest



Yesterday I spotted a flash of red deep inside the leaves of the un-pruned tomato plant and there it was--my first ripe beauty.

Now this may look like a small-potatoes harvest to you but I'm really quite proud.

And speaking of potatoes mine are also ready for harvesting as soon as I find the energy.

It's still hot and humid.

I've been munching the peas right off the vine but it might be fun to actually cook some for a change.

The spinach didn't make it at all and the rabbits left me one head of lettuce but that's okay--mine is an equal opportunity garden.

On the positive side, there have been gentle spatters of rain the past couple of days.

I love summer.
