I found these under the zucchini plant when I was straightening it up, after it had tipped over in the wind. Over six pounds of zucchini…and no, I didn’t let them ripen too long (though nearly so). Only the hint of seeds inside, and a flavor unlike anything from the grocery. Green, fresh, a bit earthy, clean.

Just wait until your tomatoes turn red. I dream all winter of tomatoes from our garden. The flavor is unbelievable compared to the ones purchased in the grocery store–which now taste like water to me.

Well, some of those tomatoes will only turn yellow (“yellow pear” cherry tomatoes). And the Brandywines won’t mature until September…a disappointment. But I know what you mean. Home-grown are the best. Our neighbors have six tomato plants, some of which are about 6″ tall, so if we don’t get much off ours, we’ll probably get some of the overflow from theirs. Looking forward to that!
This is a learning experience. Next year I’ll start earlier and make better choices about varieties of plants. Of course, I’ll also have a larger selection from which to choose.

The tomato plants are now about 8′ tall — not 6″. (Latest pics in the sig link for those interested. My zucchini started fast but are now having some problems. Hopefully they’re fixable.)
I’m reminded of this classic Spinal Tap scene: “mini Stonehenge”.

Funny, I just mentioned to someone that, in next year’s garden, I’m going to turn the tomatoes up to 11.
