08/17/2005: "more tomatoes, and beets!"
Well I must say the sun gold tomato plant is quite a producer. Today I picked tomatoes from all 3 varieties - the sun golds yielded about 5 pints again. The other cherry tomato plant (which I think is a super sweet) yielded about 1 pint, with many over-ripe tomatoes falling to the ground. It seems these two cherry varieties must be picked regularly or their fruit burst open. The third variety yielded about 8-10 tomatoes, and these are a larger type, about 4-5" long, though they don't taste like much. So, I'm sure there will be more to pick tomorrow, from all 3 varieties.
The second batch of beets is ready, or most of it is anyway.
The gourds continue to grow and I continue to wonder how I will know when they are ready.
The cucumber plants has a good number of baby cucumbers ready to grow, but I wonder if they will since the deer have eaten most of their leaves.
Picked my first pumpkin yesterday! They really are Jason's, but this one looked like it needed to be picked.
