A bunch of vegetables

Finally, a purple calabash tomato ripened. (That's that lumpy looking thing) There's also a bunch of green beans (and "purple beans") hidden by that white zucchini. I've been having problems with sparrows squeezing in between the chicken wire and eating chicken food, this morning I put bird netting over the chicken wire to see if that keeps them out, they seem pretty determined though.

Oranges and Lemons Rose

Tomorrow I'm going to pick the first purple calabash tomato, it looks like a someone put rubber bands around their bruised fist. It's very exciting and goth. Today I just have some rose pictures
Cherry Parfait Rose

To be fair there was one more...

There were three, but I ate one of these little Besser cherry tomatoes before I took the picture. According to HeirloomSeeds.com the Besser tomato is: From the southern area of Germany (Freiburg region), this old favorite dates back to the 1800's, and is a must for any tomato lover! The plants produce 3/4 inch diameter fruit in clusters of up to 12, very sweet, cherry tomatoes. The vigorous vines need strong cages for support. Best tasting cherry tomato we've tried! Proudly introduced in the United States by Heirloom Seeds. Indeterminate vines.


This picture is another picture of the veggies, as my lunch. :)

Slow day!

It's still the very beginning of the season.
