We finished harvesting the home garden today. I've lost track of how many pounds in tomatoes that makes. We got some peppers, onions, and pulled the potato sets today as well.
Got two small cucumbers from my experimental vertical garden this week too. Aside from some onion shoots its all I got from it. My water getting shut off and overplanting on my part screwed things up royally.
I'm happier than hell with the way the food supply is starting to build up now.
Consilio et animis
Essayons!
More pecans..........................
I apologize for nothing...
We didn't do the harvest but got 18 jars of tomatos put up. Probably have another 6-10 left to do.
You ants are rocking it!
I'll be digging up the sweet potatoes at the end of the month.
First harvest of 2012.
Jalapeño, Pepperoncini and the smallest and best tasting cherry tomatoes that I have ever tasted the Matts Wild Cherry.
The first one that I ate was like a firework of tomato explosion to my taste buds, we will be growing these again. They're going to be great on a salad because of the smaller than normal size.

Evolver I had those tomatoes this years as well and I love them. They are small but they are good. Ours never made it to a salad as we ate them like grapes.
I am me,
I am free,
You can not change me.
If you try, you will see,
That I am unchangeable,
Because I am me.
We're starting to get enough Cherry's to put in a bowl now rather then just popping them into our mouths after picking.

My tomatos are just starting to bloom and will be coming in the house before long. Looked at my step dads today while I was up there today. He has nine plants in his green house and they are all hanging full, 6 different varieties.
I picked the key players for my next batch of salsa, I have it all processed and cooked down so I'll be caning it tomorrow.
If I don't say so myself... this is my best batch I've put up.
In the basket there is.
Homestead, Marion, Green Zebra, Isis Candy and Matts Wild tomatoes.
Green Chiles, Jalapeño, Serrano Peppers.
I had to buy Onions and Poblano Peppers to add in.
Here is a better shot of the ripe Green Zebra. This is the first time that we have grown them and we will be growing them again. Good and meaty not to sweet and good all round flavor

Damn you have me drooling over that green zebra, Evolver. Didn't plant any this year by oversight and sure was kicking myself.
