| Cloudy skies all week. Finally the rain came on Thursday night. |
Salad Days
 |
| Sweet 100 (red) and Sun Sugar (yellow) tomatoes can be sliced in half or added whole to a salad. |
I was getting about the same amount of tomatoes from each one.
But now the Sun Sugar has slowed down production and the Sweet 100 has speeded up!
 |
| Lettuces and peas will be planted next week. |
I am planning to plant two types of lettuce:
Grand Rapids is a loose leaf lettuce, and Bibb is a butterhead variety.
I have not grown either one before, so I am eager to see how they do.
Another cool weather vegetable I am trying for the first time is Little Marvel peas.
The packet says "8-12 days to germination, 61 days to harvest"
Little green peas can be cooked like any other pea, but we like them sprinkled raw on our salads.
Have a wonderful week-end!

ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. It is good to have the vegetables that yourself has grown.
ReplyDeleteI love the clouds in your sky photo. It looks as if you are going to have a great cool weather garden. Your tomatoes look yummy.
ReplyDeleteThose tomatoes look so appetizing. I can almost taste them! I always look forward to the first hint of fall, when you know that cooler days are on the way.
ReplyDeleteLovely sky shot! And your tomatoes look yummy! I love the cherry tomatoes to snack on too. Have a happy weekend!

ReplyDeleteexquisite sky image... we finally have one tomato turning red... many hanging heavy and green.... yours look delicious. I hope they are very sweet.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful white fluffy clouds on a bright blue sky! Lovely. I usually get pretty excited about planting a fall garden- my fav time to have a garden. But our summer garden is just now producing like crazy so I'm holding off on the fall garden - at least for now! Thanks for visiting my SkyWatch post. :-)
ReplyDeleteThose are my favorite tomatoes. Pop and goes!
ReplyDeleteLove that top photo!
