As of this afternoon, the tomato count is up to 35: 18 roma, 8 cherry, and 9 better boy! I also have 2 jalapenos! The bell peppers are really close to producing some baby pepper buds, and the cucumbers are getting bigger each day. I planted zucchini and green beans this afternoon, since the broccoli and lettuce has been harvested, so all I have to do now is keep watering, hope the heat and squirrels don’t kill anything, and wait for some edible produce! Oh, and survive the mosquito bites, because they’re killer already!
I’ve already tried out the Pioneer Woman’s Pico de Gallo recipe, but I’m going to be looking for more recipes to use up these tomatoes once they all start ripening. I’m also going to learn how to can some of them, hopefully. What I can’t use will go to neighbors and friends, so put in your requests now! 🙂
So much growth:

A crazy-looking better boy tomato!
