Garden Bounty
This summer was so hot and dry that even with regular watering, most of our garden was pretty pathetic. Of the 20+ tomato plants we planted, maybe six of them produced. It was a disappointing year, so we neglected the garden from about mid-July on.
Last weekend, I finally went out to find a harvest that didn't disappoint. I picked an entire bowl of miscellaneous cherry tomatoes (Indigo Rose and Jelly Bean were probably the most prolific, although neither were the most flavorful). I also got a whole bowl of one of the roma-looking tomatoes. It may be Viva Italia. Then there were a variety of small-ish purples and yellows. I can't be sure which variety these were. Everything gets so tangled, whatever markers are left are hard to pair with actual fruits.
There were also a few tomatillos, but hardly enough to even make a batch of salsa with. The red onions were kind of fun this year, but they were pretty small. A few peppers have come in as well.
