Harvesting cukes, zucchini, and beans.

Picked 6 more of the large slicing cucumbers and 2 zucchinis this afternoon, bringing the total to 69 cukes and 15 zukes. Also, picked enough of the purple beans to have for dinner. Going to cook them up. Also ate a few of the orange sungold tomatoes right off the vines; they never seem to make it home. Shared the 3 small Cuccino cukes with Yoo-Hoo and Derby; they think the cucumbers are such a treat! Yoo-Hoo goes crazy when he smells that I've been to the garden.



Here is how the garden is shaping up. The pole beans are really filling in around the trellis. Expect to be picking beans just about every day now. Zucchinis are producing every day as well. Eggplants will be ready in a few more days. Tomatoes are ripening. And cukes are continuing to produce like crazy!

Here are just a few of the Brandy Boy tomatoes ripening on the vine:

And here is just one cluster of the Brandwine Pink tomatoes that still have to ripen. You might just be looking at over 10 lbs. of tomatoes just in this small section of the entire plant!

And, last but not least, received a great email this afternoon: Sandy and Bill are back safe and sound from their trip to Israel! I cannot wait for them to see what has been going on at the garden in just 3 short weeks!
