Lots of tomatoes

We had a great day picking our garden today, but it was very hot. We got a real MESS of tomatoes, beginning with this one plant that yielded 17 beautiful, red tomatoes, all by itself!

Here are all the baskets we picked


4 bushels (8 baskets) of tomatoes, one of beans, one of okra and peppers, one of leeks and onions and a round basket of beans.


We stuffed everything into Joanne's little Mini Cooper.


Yum!

The bounty begins

We had a great, not-hot day on Sunday to pick. The bounty has begun:



Bad news though: My tiller is on the fritz again and I need to order a new part. Wish me luck finding an obscure part from my 1983 tiller.

Summer garden starts to produce


The okra looks lovely in the late afternoon sun.



We got four baskets of vegetables today, including one almost-full basket of tomatoes!

Tomatoes

We got a nice basket of tomatoes today (Friday)! Also got okra (about 50 pieces), yellow squash (5) and beets. We picked a leek, too--it was beautiful!
