My garden this year has been a giant experiment. I have had small patio herbs and did a small one a few years back while in California. This year I had space and I wanted some heirloom tomatoes dang it! I have 9 different breeds of tomatoes, zucchini, spinach, carrots, peppers, radishes and some herbs. I have learned that different breeds of tomatoes like different climates, one of my tomatoes likes humidity while another prefers dry so I go out and water one mid day while making sure the other stays dry. My zucchinis are doing great and I have carrots coming out of my ears. Another thing I learned are how prolific cherry tomato plants can be. My sunsugar plant has taken over everything, the good news is I have a handful of ripe cherry tomatoes for a snack each day but it is over growing into my other tomato cages, I think I need to prune it a little. Its been a fun experience, lots of mistakes made this year and I am sure many more to come, but it has very educational.
My thyme is blooming
My pineapple tomato, prone to blemishes but very yummy.
My zebra tomatoes, I have to wait until there is some yellow on them to know they are ripe.
This guy is a low acid pink tomato or rather will be, I almost lost this plant, but heavy pruning and a lot of love saved it.
My zucchini, this made a very delicious gratin dish.
