After a long while, the tomatoes in our garden have begun to appear. We get the San Francisco Fog variety because they grow well in Pacific Grove's foggy weather. They're really juicy and tasty and also work really great for salsa. It will probably be a few more weeks before they're edible, but when they come, there will probably be a lot. Last year, we had enough to fill a huge mixing bowl every few days when we would harvest them.
Unfortunately, a lot of the plants didn't survive the heat waves and smoke, but our oregano plant did. All of the other plants die out every year, but we've had this same oregano ever since the first year here. Some assorted lettuce, arugula, and mesclun are also present in rows in the planter box.

everything's looking really beautiful, sky!
our tomatoes are finally ripening and we've probably got about 20 little green ones all blooming. i try to pick them just a tiny bit early and let them ripen on the counter, that way they're not taking away from the mother plant too much and she can put out more fruits.
your lettuce looks tasty, and if i were in town i'd come raid the garden while you were asleep. since i'm up anyway and all.
are you guys doing a fall planting? we'll be doing beans and peas, lettuces and radishes, potatoes & broccoli. they all love cool weather so should do well on the coat there, too. oh, onions too.
much love little in-law.
