Finally getting some cherry tomatoes! Only had room for three plants as my whole yard is shaded. Refrigerator pickled a lot of green ones! The one plants cherry tomatoes are as big as golf balls, and delicious!

That’s a perfect size. When I make a salad, I don’t want any leftovers, because refrigeration ruins them. So no matter what, I try to use it all.

That size is just perfect to go on my lunch time salad.

I pulled one of the three Trinidad Scorpion plants since we are over supplied with these little devils, plus the other varieties can use some more sun light in the raised beds. The little dehydrator works well on the sliced peppers, turning them into little poker chips for storage.
I've frozen jalapenos for winter chili and harvested about 100 paprikas, now dried and ground into powder for future use.
Son from Seattle spent a week with us and we made Poblano/portobella burgers which were excellent.

We're gathering about a dozen nice Roma and other tomatoes every day. Making sauce and pico w/ some poblanos.

Cukes are done.
Squash produced about one dozen nice keepers, then quit.
