Kitchen Garden Update

It always starts out so innocent. Look at these cute little baby plants!

I planted these just a few days before I took these photos. 3 tomato plants, 4 pots of delicate, almost pathetic looking cucumbers, and some beans and corn.

I lost all the beans and one of the cucumber sets. I never got around to replanting. A pity about the beans, though I’m enjoying my mom’s surplus and the farmer’s market offerings.
Given what’s happened, it’s best I did not replant that last cuke set. It might have been…a little bit too much.

Those things that are 5 feet tall are of course the tomato plants. Don’t all tomato plants create their own shade?
The things with the salad-plate sized green leaves crawling up the tomato jungle on the left side of the photo are the cucumbers.

So almost exactly 2 months after planting, I’ve got an overgrowing jungle of cucumbers and tomatoes locked together in some sort of power struggle/secret pact.
No ripe tomatoes yet. Which is a pity–a nice tomato would go well in a salad with one of the 31 cucumbers I’ve picked so far.

They’re beautiful, and they taste fabulous. Light and sweet and crunchy.
Want one? I’ve got 18 in my fridge right now.
