08/14/2005: "Tomatoes"
Lots of tomatoes are ready now. Today I must have picked 7 pints worth of sun golds - they are orange and are rather sweet, and are the size of cherry tomatoes. The other cherry tomato variety is also ready, but they don't seem to have produced nearly as many as the sun gold, and I haven't had a chance to pick them yet. They taste more like traditional cherry tomatoes. The larger variety has produced 3-4 ripe tomatoes so far, but they don't have much taste, must be used for cooking.
Some ears of corn are already ready, with the others looking to follow shortly.
It seems the muskmelons have decided to grow after all, saw about 3 or 4 that were 5" in diameter.
Have many varieties of gourds now, probably 6 or 7. Some of them look to be fully grown.
