Total rainfall today was 0.7 inches and it was done by lunchtime. Enough to give the garden a much needed soaking. Perfect timing in that it won't be necessary to water this weekend.
Five more large tomatoes were picked today. I have been leaving them on the vine until the last possible minute, so they are ready to eat the same day I pick them.
Picked 3 more cucumbers today, bringing the total to 116. The large tomato total is now 35.
Most of the plants are past their peak due to the fact that we are almost into summer.
It is almost five weeks that the cucumbers have been producing.
The exception are the eggplants. The big eggplant harvest should begin in just a day or two.

THE HAPPY FROG GARDEN PATCH is dedicated to the fun of growing an abundance of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables. Located at the Common Ground Community Garden in Safety Harbor, FL, the garden was started in April 2010 by Dr. Shawn Hollander, an optometrist, and owner of Safety Harbor Optical. Lending a tremendous helping hand is garden assistant Sandy Kracov, whose help has enabled the expansion of the garden to almost double its original size. The raised bed garden now measures 36' x 10'.
