I Am Enjoying Harvesting Tomatoes and Greens

 I love checking out my garden bed every day and today it was bountiful.  Today I harvested several Lizzano tomatoes.

Can you see the little red tomato at the bottom in the plant along the back edge?  Its only one of several I was able to harvest today for my luncheon salad.

In this photo you can see my Nasturtiums are starting to blossom in red, yellow and orange.  Its just the beginning.  In front of them are lettuces and thyme, which I also harvested today.  In the back are cukes on the left and Lizzano tomatoes on the right.

My cucumber plants are loaded with blossoms, but no fruit yet. 

The peppers along the top in this photo are doing well.  Lots of blossoms yet to sprout and many little green peppers on the plants.  In the foreground are Tokyo bekana with the darker green Tatsoi behind them.

Look at all the little green Lizzano tomatoes on these two plants.  I will be harvesting enough to roast many of them.  I love the flavor of roasted tomatoes.  I harvested several red ones this morning to make a nice big salad today but honestly, I was hoping for sweeter flavor.  I love having fresh tomatoes, but I would rather another variety that makes larger and sweeter ones.  That is planned for next year when I know I can transplant some tasty varieties.  This year I opted for some small plants that could be planted in containers if the beds were no built this year.  

Another view of my garden bed.  In the very front, looking very small, are my 2 Red Robin tomatoes.  They are barely a foot tall and loaded with many green tomatoes. The Kale is doing well as are the lettuces and other greens.  My Salvia on the far right in the foreground is getting bigger.  The bed is healthy.  I am very pleased to have this garden this year.  

Enjoy your gardens.
