I saw something out in the garden that has me very excited:

It has been far too long since I have had a homegrown tomato. I thought this plant was ‘Cherokee Purple’, but I’m thinking it is actually ‘Fourth of July’. I wasn’t too diligent with my plant labels. Actually, all my vining crops I grew from seed are still unknown due to the fact that I didn’t label properly and then the toddler ripped out the labels I did have. I’ve had a few die, including a pack that was both attacked by the toddler and then was deprived of water for a week, and have little idea what they were to replace them. So I think I planted french melons,  hubbard squash, striped armenians, and zucchini, but I know that at least one of those crops doesn’t actually exist.

All my tomatoes are doing amazing. Most are in bloom, and many already have fruit set.

The peas are a good five feet tall, and outgrowing the support. I planted snap peas, because I love them, and I’ve been eating them as my primary vegetable lately. Still more blooms and young peas, so more snacking to come.

The spinach has bolted. I haven’t touched it lately, and will probably pull it up soon. But I loved having enough for salads and sandwiches why it lasted. I have no idea why I have never planted spinach before. It did quite well, even if the harvest was pretty short. Once the peas are done as well, I’ll rip out the section and plant beans.
