Harvests

The tomatoes are finally ripening, we've been enjoying small greenish purple ones. My zucchini plant hit a good spot and we get a new zuke every other day. I've gotten 2 yellow squashes so far. I harvested our first cuke yesterday and our first eggplant. They all look really good. There are not a lot in the works, but I am grateful for the little bit I get. We've gotten some beans, and I love going out every morning for greens from the garden and yard. We haven't weeded or fertilized in a long while-- I'm sure the plants would be growing better if I had done so, but I'm just so pleased to be harvesting stuff even if it's not the most I could have, it's good and we are eating it all. I made ratatouille yesterday for dinner and it was sooooo good. I'm loving my herbs too. I need to harvest and dry them this week and fertilize and weed and plant- but I don't know how much I'll actually do!!
