We had a very wet and chilly spring. It made growing veggies difficult this year.

Yikes!

This year the ground is like concrete......is this what makes gardening such fun?

Last time I buy a rainbow mix of carrots....almost all of them are white, & taste more like parsnips than carrots....

oh oh

Ditto!

Yesterday I picked about a dozen tomatoes and left them on the table. Today when I got home from work I noticed one of the tomatoes had half the skin missing and a pile of chewed looking bits next to it. I picked it up only to find a big fat caterpillar eating away at it. I removed the caterpillar right to the turtles tank where they said Burp.

Wow! Bet the caterpillar didn't see that coming!

had a last good meal at least

That will teach him! Wish I had some toms to pick.....caterpillars or not....

I just picked a nice sized box full of assorted tomatoes. I also picked a large bag of Juliet Grape tomatoes which are always perfect for adding to salads or roasting on a skewer on the grill.

Brrrrr at 46 degrees and I'm outside picking pole beans, tomatoes, basil, kale, swiss chard and hungarian peppers. I think this is the lastest I've ever been out picking from the garden. Lots of green tomatoes still on the vines. Just might have to pick them and make a green salsa.

Lots of green tomatoes here also but with this kind of weather they might not ever get ripe.

I finally noticed a very small summer squash! Not sure if it will be good enough to eat.

It might not have enough time to mature.

Had one of my tomatoes on our burgers tonight
