Monday Harvest - Aug 15

Last week was the best! We harvested lots of tomatoes, peppers, some okra and swiss chard. We even shared some with our neighbors.

Harvest Monday - Aug 1

Our harvest from last week consists of tomatoes, peppers and 1 okra :)







Our tomato plants are being attacked by horn worms. The tops of the plants were chewed up and so far we have killed 4 of them. I am sure that there is plenty more.


These disgusting creatures can defoliate a plant in a few days.

End of July report

The tomato plants are loaded with heavy fruits. Even though they are caged and staked, a couple of them are ready to fall over. They are growing vigorously and are spread out. This season I decided not to prune them like I did last year.





We call this a tomato jungle :)




Pepper plants from last year are yielding. I also bought some new plants.





This year I sowed Okra and Eggplants. Okra plants have started flowering even though the plants are too small. Eggplants are too small, they are growing real slow.

1st Okra:



The apple tree has 3 apples and they are of a decent size.
