Lazy Gardeners.

 

We just harvested these tomatoes two days ago.  It felt like 20 pounds.  They are the best tasting tomatoes you could ever find.  There are still a lot of green ones on the vine but our 90 degree weather just ended abruptly yesterday so I don't know if we will harvest another bowlful like this.one. This year we had enormous quantities of zucchini, peppers, and tomatoes.  I feel so lazy about it because there is no effort involved, these things just grow without any help from me.  They have automatic drip sprinklers and it's way too easy.  We also planted corn, which is a waste of space because you make such a giant plant and get so little in return.  The worms got more than we did.  I almost forgot about the carrots, which turned out to be a blessing for our rabbit, Bunny.  The carrots themselves are so small and tasteless that we don't use them but Bunny has been loving  her carrot tops every day since she arrived, and there is still a good supply in the ground.


Tony built a beauty of a shed out there this summer. It is so tall! Whenever we look at it we say, "it is so tall!" My husband is such a go-getter. It took him a month of Sunday's but he got the job done. So the garden looks grubby but the tomatoes don't care. The small planter in front is strawberries. We don't really know what is going to happen to them over the winter but they sure look healthy now. We didn't compost this year, not sure what happened with that. Lazy gardeners we are. Oh but the tomatoes!
