slow harvest

by Christian Grantham - 7:20 pm July 7, 2008

first tomatoesThe garden is slowly starting to churn out vegetables. These three huge tomatoes were nice to come home to. As I write this, Vince is walking one of them over to his mother’s house a few houses down.

If it looks like we’re going to have more tomatoes than we can eat I’m sure we’ll share them, but I sure would like to find a way to preserve them to take a taste of the garden into the winter.

The garden is doing really well this year. This is the first year we tilled in some of our compost from the previous two years. The compost had reduced to a dark, black soil loaded with earth worms. This fall, we should have a lot more to take out of the compost bin and till into the garden plot.

    Vince is walking a tomato to his mother’s house? That must be one hella big tomato if he needs to put it on a leash to get it there.
