July tomato harvest
Here is the first of my July harvest, my first tomato of the season (that’s a quarter in the photo to show the scale). It was juicy and slightly tart with a chewy skin. Mmm…

Hi, You are lucky that you have already harvested your 1st tomato! I planted 12 kinds of tomatoes this summer but haven’t seen any fruits yet. I have enjoyed basils and expect to harvest the 1st yellow squash in a short time. I have posted my garden update at http://simpleecolife.blogspot.com. If you have a time, please visit my blog to check my garden.
Happy gardening!
Hi Hiroko, the first fruits seem to take a long time coming, but then soon you get more and more. Some varieties of tomato take more days than others to produce fruits. The tomatoes I’ve harvested came from nursery bought plants. The transplated ones are a bit behind. Thanks for visiting
Hi Alison,
How are you?
I have been able to harvest a yellow squash so far.
Unfortunately, my veggies and flowers were damaged by a heavy hail storm. I expect they can survive, though. It’s a challenge to do gardening in my area but it’s worth to grow and taste freash produces from my own garden!
