Even though I picked my first ripe tomato just over a week ago, and I've been eating endless leafy greens from the garden all spring, this was my first official "harvest" today. I had four ripe tomatoes and five cucumbers along with some French Breakfast Radishes. I thought it would be fun (and interesting) to keep track of my harvests this year...so today's goodies weighed in at just under 3 lbs. (I'm in love with my "new" old scale found at an estate sale recently). I think it might be cool to see how many pounds of food I actually grow in a single season:)
This past week has been a busy one. Grace and I have been out of town...she was a contestant in the National Oldtime Fiddler's Contest, and it was a GREAT experience. I have lots to catch up on around the house...so I will be posting more about the contest when I get caught up!!!
I too cannot believe you have ripe tomatoes and cucumbers. Can you share your secrets?

I can't believe you already have ripe tomatoes! When did you plant??

I can't believe you already have ripe tomatoes in Idaho! Do you have a greenhouse or is it just your green thumb. I'm jealous over here in IF.

I have a small veggie garden (I'm in charge of the veggie lot at my co-op) and visited yesterday. My, but this week of sunshine and rain made the plants go wild-lol! I' looking forward to the yellow toms that will ripen first - they are soo yummy and are simply gorgeous in a salad.
Bon jardinier!
