We are moments away from a full on garden explosion. I am not even sure what we are going to do when our 17 tomato plants all start producing at the same time. This year everything is so healthy and the plants are enormous. This might be the best our soil has ever been. We use compost and horse manure. Can't beat that combination.
We have really been enjoying making omelets from our produce, they are especially wonderful when we have some of the eggs from Wesley and Harriet's chickens! Farm to table, or rather backyard to table. Maybe that will be our new movement...... hhhmm. I am telling you what, if any of you buy tomatoes once ours start producing I am going to be so mad at you. You better just come on over here and pick them yourself. We are going to have so many they will be coming out our ears.

I think it was good.
Worth working the fields.
I believe that BellaRose is a bit anxious for her carrots and ready to start eating them even though they are far from ready.
Hollings just eats anything she can get her hands on from outside the fence. She crushed Worth's dreams of being a cherry tomato farmer.
If you ever need recipes for ways to use up lots of produce don't hesitate to ask. We are happy to share.

Love it! I can't believe how huge everything is. You guys are wonderful gardeners. I'll be hoping for some tips when we get back to ours next year. Meanwhile, here is a recipe for using up your veggies...http://nu-trio.com/2011/07/18/summer-vegetable-frittata/
sweet MC thank you!!!
This is our first year of having a "bigger" garden - only 12 tomato plants, some cukes, hot peppers, & basil. Our tomatoes are about to explode too, so I would love some recipes. I am already cucumber-ed out. We have 3 plants, and have picked more than 35 cukes in 3 weeks!
I'll come...I'll come!! But I will need you to share some of your favorite recipes. It looks like a jungle back there...are you sure that is tomatoes your growing?? Love Hollings face in those pictures...their personalities are so fun!
Your garden is wonderful! I will come shopping soon. I love BellaRose's little carrots, and little spider monkey Hollings climbing the fence. Those girls! I love them!
gorgeous! I'm officially jealous, I think we MUST have a real garden next year. Every baby girl needs some cherry tomatoes!
