Garden Report - Tomato Fruit

Submitted by renee on Wed, 2008-07-02 16:41.

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.

"Garden life is good"
Indeed. Beautiful garden you have. This is my first year back in the city after living in the country and I miss my garden a great deal. Thanks for letting me dream through yours.

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.
