Today I noticed my first tomato. I have been trying to give it a go at an organic garden and at the request of my family, I am starting to take the time to write things down. I feel a little strange starting with a blog but at least I am typing something.

Back to the tomato. Overall, I have 14 tomato plants none of which are the same variety. My first tomato is on the Mortgage Lifter and it has me excited.

Later as I took my camera outside to take pictures of all my plants, I noticed some very small maters on the Black Cherry as well. As fo the rest of the garden, I have Golden Cresent Beans, pickling/lemon/slicing cucumbers, Harbinger Peas, zucchini, yellow squash, 4 types of bell peppers, golden beats, mesculin salad, heirloom broc, watermelon, 4 heirloom apples trees and spinach.

Spinach went to seed as it got too hot to quick....did not turn out too well. Salad was wonderful but with the heat, the eating was short lived. My kids are loving the peas and the cukes/toms/beans are a few days away from being ready. Squash and Zuc were picked for the first time yesterday.

Kids are asleep, Jennifer is being creative....enough for now...
