Tomato in pot

Scorched but still strong, this tomato plant is producing fruit at a slow but steady rate. I think the squirrels got one of the fruits but they don't seem to like the taste all that much so most of the tomatoes are still intact. I wish I had room to grow a real vegetable garden, but pots work in a pinch.

Almost ready

These tomatoes will be gone today or tomorrow - probably eaten straight off the vine! These particular vines are growing in a pot - container gardening. We were quite worried that the plants would rot with all the rain we've had recently, but they're working away anyway.

We've been harvesting fresh kale, lettuce and arugula for a month now. Yellow squash and green peppers within the week.

Baby tomato

This year, we took (rented?) a plot at the Community Garden near our house. Community gardens are a project to put unused lots to work. Each gardener pays a small fee for a plot, and gets to cultivate it as they see fit.

We've already been harvesting lettuce - a nice treat. This is a future harvest - a baby tomato. We have quite a variety there: leeks, chives, squash, zucchini, lettuce, celery, kale, beans and flowers to attract pollinators.
