Since I get to work from home, I tend to go out and check on the garden multiple times a day. So its king of hard to see much change between visits. I was out of town all last week for work and so I got to come home to more noticeable progress.
The first tomatoes are starting to get ripe. These are Black Krim which actually grew as volunteers from our compost. I made gazpacho last year from the Black Krim tomatoes that I grew in the garden and accidentally threw all the tomato seeds in the compost instead of down the garbage disposal. Since then they have been popping up all over the garden. This weird tomato developed from a monster fused tomato flower which I guess is kind of common on brandywine type heirloom tomato plants.
The tassels are starting to emerge on the corn in the three sisters planter box behind the barn. I can only see one ear forming. Hopefully the ears will catch up with the tassels soon.
I think we will end up with a bumper butternut squash harvest. The little baby butternut squashes are so cute.
The purple tomatillos are growing like crazy. I have never grown them before and never really cooked with them either. I will be making a whole lot of salsa verde. But, I think I'm going to have to look up some more things to do with them also.
