The tomatoes are all Bella Rosa. I've found they do best in our hot, humid weather. They will make as long as you keep them watered. They have the best taste of the hybrids that I've tried and are blight resistant. I have some tomatoes that will weigh in at about a pound and a half and are still growing. I'm ready for them to ripen.

I think two pidgen peas came up. I'm not sure about this first one. Its in the wrong spot. Maybe some who knows about pp, like @greene can tell me.
I'm fairly sure this is a pp, but the rain has almost rotted it
I planted more seeds for the fourth time.

I've been harvesting individual leaves for stir-fries for 2 months. But here is a surprize! Some of the oldest ones bolted and I was pinching them off and tossing the flowers.
Well, I looked at one today and noted that it looked like a baby broccoli. I ate it. It was WONDERFUL! Sweeter than broccoli. I think I will keep them growing to bolting stage just for the sweet tips!

But, at 3:00 this afternoon, there was still no sun in that area (when previously it was getting a fair amount). We've been watching this area for the past couple of years--our trees have gotten so mature that they are giving us much more shade than past years.
So, I made the painful decision that I need to move my veggie garden. I have a great space back in my perennial garden. But, now I have to move perennials, fill in the holes left by that, and then move my earthboxes and re-establish my rabbit fencing around that garden. The downside to this is that my husband currently has 3 broken vertebrae, so cannot help me with heavy lifting. So, we've hired a neighborhood young man to help on Saturday. I hope this all works out, as I need to get this done fairly quickly. He's coming over on Sunday (weather permitting). Sigh.... I should have done this last fall.
