A little late in posting this past week’s photos:

Tomatoes

We’ve got tomatoes!  Looks to be a good harvest this year.  Glad to see all of the tomato plants (but one) in full bloom.  Week by week more tomatoes will ripen for beautiful pictures and delicious eats.

Beans

The beans are SO close to looking something like a bean.  There will be TONS of beans when they start to mature.

Peppers

They have been slow growing all season.  The peppers down the street growing outside of a dry cleaners are bigger than these.  Nonetheless, they are starting to fruit and I should have some good peppers in about 3 weeks.

Garlic

I harvested another batch of garlic this week including one elephant garlic.  It is huge and looks like it will be great baked and spread cover toast.  I can continue to harvest the garlic until the bulbs start to reproduce again.  It’s probably the only thing I can think of that starts regrowing this quickly.  I guess it shows just how easy garlic is to grow.

This was a late post and I’m off to work in the garden so I’ll have more pictures shortly.  Enjoy.
