I lost count of how many days without rain. There were brush fires in Central Florida on account of how dry it has been. Finally, a front came through and it rained for over 3 hours and the final tally was exactly an inch of rain.
Picked about a quart of the Red Currant cherry tomatoes, and didn't even make a dent in what was left to pick.
Also picked a yellow bell pepper, the first ever.
There are at least 4 more zucchinis growing, and more eggplants ready to pick.
If anyone reading this Blog would like to pick their own tomatoes, please feel free to contact me. You can easily fill up a quart, or more, of the Red Currant cherry tomatoes, and use them in cooking or in salads.
It will take about 15-20 minutes or so to fill up a quart. I believe these will be available for at least the next 2-3 weeks.
Also picked the first Solar Fire Tomato today.
There are indeed more new Brandy Boy and Brandywine Pink tomatoes that have set of late, and here I was already planning to remove these giant tomato plants from the garden.

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'.
