Backyard Gardening Fun: Part 3
Kind of hard to believe this was all just dirt a few months ago.
The Sun Sugar plant went insane, as expected. The fence can't even handle it right now.
The Big Beef and Brandywine tomatoes are popping out dozens of fruit.
You can't tell the size here, but this big beef tomato is nearly as big as my head.
Brandywine is looking quite fine.
The Fletcher tomato is still weird looking.
The Sun Sugar cherries are the first to ripen. They turn a lovely marigold yellow color.
Mike gave the first one a taste test. They're delicious! They have a sweet citrus flavor to them.
The herb garden has filled out and we've been clipping fresh chives and cilantro for our meals.
Did I mention we have mint? This is strawberry mint.
AND THE STRAWBERRIES ARRIVED!!! They were bare for what seemed like forever but they finally blossomed and we've got a few berries turning now.
The first zucchini have matured.
As well as the first cucumbers.
We have peas now. Lots of peas.
And green beans.
The beets are getting big.
And so are the carrots. I think, anyway. Hard to tell from above ground.
We now have over two dozen jalapeños.
The bell peppers are ripening. This one's turning yellow very slowly.
Here's the cayenne peppers.
