Beefsteak tomatoes are coming ... the first one is just starting to turn red. *excited*
BTW, the eggplant are excellent. Ping Tung has zero bitterness, but gets soft when cooked. Chao Praya has a bit of bitterness to the skin (not much, it's slightly more than I like when eaten raw), but stays nice and solid and 'meaty' when cooked. Cooking seems to get rid of the bitterness, so I think it's my favorite of the two.
Mitoyo is almost big enough to harvest, maybe eggplant parm next week ...1 -

Just thinking about a juicy beefsteak hot off the vine makes my mouth water.
I am just putting in tomatoes and eggplants. I put in three Hillbilly tomatoes at our large community garden and the deer have nipped off two--not sure if they will recover. Of course they went for the fanciest slicer tomato seedlings--they know what's good.
Last night I harvested some garlic scapes, which I will probably use as garnish for soup and pasta; probably about a half pound of rhubarb (all I am doing is making and eating rhubarb crisp this season, ha ha); and the straw I used in the garden last year has, naturally, sprouted, but I learned that our 4 bunnies go nutballs over what is called "wheat hay" when harvested before maturity, so I am harvesting that and saving a chunk of change on those stupid bags of timothy hay I get at the farm store. So I am feeling very virtuous and frugal, for turning a liability into an asset.0 -
I live in Northern Virginia. My garden lettuce, spinach and kale are wonderful (cool and plenty of rain) and coming faster than we can eat. I am giving the bolted arugula to my neighbor for her chickens....in exchange for eggs. I picked the last of my sour cherries over the weekend. Blueberries are just ripening.....maybe another week for those. Carrots and beets are about two weeks out. Tomatoes are about 3-4 weeks out (plenty of green ones!) and my apples, pears and peaches are about two months out. I love this time of year!!!1
