An unending bonanza of tomatoes.

The small one are more intensively flavored with black cherry (the round dark ones) leading the way.  So far very little pest pressure,  My recollection is the stink bugs and other tomato lovers proliferate toward the end of the season.

Basil are growing strongly and in the pic below you can see watermelon vines spreading in all directions and burgundy okra which have some weeks to go.

I again planted my peppers late (the first batch were freeze killed in the unheated greenhouse), but they are now growing well and a pepper has appeared.

I love onions and I cycle plant them every few weeks- white, yellow, purple, whatever is available.

Beans and apples are producing well tho many of the apples have been invaded, which means less for me and the chicken, but enough.
