The Year of the Tomato

I had a wonderful crop of tomatoes this year

I bought these two plants

but the majority of them were freebies (volunteers)

everywhere I spread compost,

I had tomato plants come up

even the gold pear that I absolutely love

also in my garden, the chili peppers are coming back to life

I almost gave up on my zucchini but finally the bees came to the rescue so I'm getting one every few days. Not a good crop but at least I don't have to figure out what to do with too many.

the bell peppers and carrots are doing great

as well as the swiss chard

basil, rosemary, oregano, marjoram, thyme, and sage are thriving.

but the parsley and cilantro are done.

wish I could figure out how to grow cilantro all year!
