Our garden has been growing like crazy! We literally have tomato trees. Our little raised bed garden in Arizona never looked like this. It's crazy. Here's a picture of Lily checking out our harvest one day when we got back from the garden. She thought it would be fun to smash the tomatoes together.
Here is a delicious meal I made with all vegetables from our garden, and the meat came from Mint Creek Farm where we are part of their meat CSA program. I made beef kebabs with sauteed chard and onions. The chard tasted better than it looked.
I've been getting down to the garden about twice a week, and this is a good picture of our typical harvest. At least one zucchini, one green pepper (we might be done with those now, they've been lost in the tomato forrest), a bunch of carrots, a handful of cherry tomatoes, and one or two roma tomatoes. Our roma tomato plant has so many on it that it bent the cage and I'm going to have to stake it up this weekend. We have three Big Boy tomoato plants as well, and there are tons of huge tomatoes on it but none are ripe yet. I think we might be making a lot of sauce!
On a sad garden note, I'm pretty sure we have aphids on the zucchini plants. I'm going to prune them a bit tomorrow, but I'm worried about them spreading to the tomato plants. I bought some organic soap spray stuff, but I'm kind of afraid to use it. Does anyone have any experience getting rid of aphids? They're so gross.
