Squashed tomatoes

I was looking back through some photos, and I thought you’d all like to see some before and after of the Edible Alley

That first picture was taken in mid-May. The second just last week. That’s only abut 4.5 months worth of growth! Amazing.

Now that the tomatoes have started ripening…

They aren’t stopping! I bring in a basketful every day. And as many of you predicted – it looks like they are Roma tomatoes. Certainly NOT the grape tomatoes they were supposed to be!

I’ve found quite a few that have been munched on…

But there’s definitely more than enough to share with a few night-time raiders.

I am absolutely thrilled with my first attempt at growing squash vertically.

The ladder has proved to be a fantastic support and I have several squashes in various stages of development.

I picked and ate that smaller one on the right the other night and it was delicious! The other ones need more time, but I’m definitely looking forward to enjoying them!

    The ladder is brilliant! That last photo of your tomatoes looks like all of mine. I only got one decent one this year and I was so excited I forgot to eat it and it went bad on the counter.

    Your vegetable garden has done exceptionally well. Love the use of the ladder for the squash to climb. Maybe next year, you will be able to have grape tomatoes. In the meantime, do you plan to make pasta sauce with all your bounty?
