Zelda had so desperately hoped to break into season 9 of Project Runway with her modern tomato jumpsuit. She designed it for the urban vegetable...possibly a sleek green zucchini attending a soup mixer, or a lanky leek wanting to impress at the local salad bar.
Pity Michael Kors and Nina Garcia didn't see it in the same light.
I was pretty happy to have harvested about 9 pounds of Amish Paste tomatoes from the four survivor plants. It's a little discouraging to think of how many more I would have had from the twenty others that were eaten, but I'm glad that I at least have some to harvest!
I also harvested another 3 pounds of green peppers and a good pound of red peppers. There is a boatload of basil out there for the Tornado to help pick after supper. My family may very well be sick of pesto by next summer! :)
What's growing in your garden?
Check out Daphne's Harvest Monday meme to see what other gardeners are harvesting from their August gardens.
Very cute! And you have more 'maters than me :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute jumpsuit! your tomatoes look yummy!
ReplyDeleteOhhh I can live vicariously through your peppers and tomatoes. Mine succumbed to blight and whatever else....love the tomato fashion ;)
ReplyDeleteha, cute! I too have an abundance of basil. I probably have more than 10 plants scattered around. I'll be begging the neighbors to take some!
ReplyDeleteLucky you!...you got a huge harvest! Salsa, tomato sauce on the menu? Yummy!
ReplyDeleteNINE pounds of tomatoes?!? And Three pounds of peppers?! So jealous. Your harvest looks great. I would have voted for the jumpsuit, btw. ;)
ReplyDeleteCute tomato harvest, only 9 lbs? I'll be very happy if I get 9, (excluding cherry maters).
ReplyDeleteBah humbug - Who reads Marie Clare anyway???? -It doesn't have half the style sense of Gardening Australia! Having said that I think Heidi would have secretly loved this ensemble....well for lunch anyway....
