The picture doesn't do it justice. I had an excellent home-grown lunch at work today. (Don't look Dr. B)Our tomatoes have been the envy of all our friends, neighbors, and co-workers. We really didn't have to do anything. I didn't do anything special. I guess fresh picked is just that much better than store-bought.
I've planted more cucumbers, summer/fall tomato seeds, and more green beans (the first ones quit producing). My plan is to try the summer tomatoes in 5-gallon buckets on the side of the house where they won't get scorched. I'm trying 3 different sizes: Arkansas Traveler (big heirloom), Sweet Chelsea (plum-sized cherry), and Texas Wild (small cherry).
Next up: Building trellises for the green beans and cucumbers, and finishing burying the water line to the soaker hoses.

Looks delicious. Jessica wants to plant a tree in our back yard to give our bedroom window some shade. Do you think we could grow nectarines?
