Garden Report - Tomato Fruit
I spied the first cherry tomato fruit yesterday in the garden. Today I pruned and staked the plants using these instructions from Frank Ferrandino.
This afternoon we're off to the beach. The garden grows. I pick a few weeds here and there, squish a few bad beetles, but mostly the garden does its own thing, as we do ours.
Right now we're harvesting peas for our salads and strawberries for a treat, we only a get a few each day from our 20 plants. Our first raspberries are ripening, there's hundreds of those. Berries that is, not canes! And in a couple weeks we'll be eating cherry tomatoes. Garden life is good.

I actually live in a city. Our lot is all of 1/10 of an acre, and that includes the house. The backyard is well utilized and dominated by a trampoline, clothesline and garden space, with a little run around space for the 3 kiddos. When we need more space we head to the farm or the mountains but for everyday it's perfect, we're happy city dwellers.

I have never seen a vegetable garden look like a work of art... until I saw yours! It feeds the body AND the soul.

Ah, that's a sweet thing to say. I think part of it is that I have such a small space to work in so it has to do double duty. I also know I want to create beauty in whatever I put my hands to work doing. Homemaking as art.
This is one of the reasons I love hanging laundry. Although I have no choice it's also beautiful, at least in my eye, to see it flapping in the freeze, especially sheets & towels.

See this gives me hope! We too have been heading out to local farms to get our "country" fix.
