Sweet blessed rain. The garden rejoices.
I picked another snow pea, the first zucchini is looking good, I will pick it tomorrow. The pumpkin vine has produced its first (male) flower and the button squash has a few female flowers, but I think I'll probaby need to hand pollinate them, I just need to get the timing right.
this is wonderful ๐
So nice to have all that in your garden!
I've only tried cherry tomatoes this year. Picked my first one today.
Cherry tomatoes are great, and tend to self seed easily. I had a row in my previous house that were grown from seeds in a supermarket mixed punnet, a couple of my plants this year are their descendants.
My plants have only just started flowering, so I envy you having fruit starting.
It's really only one lil bunch that has started fruiting. The rest of the plant is just flowering now. So weird. I was worried for a while it was only going to be this one bunch!
I think everything is a bit delayed this year, spring was very wet and cool so I think a lot of people have found the garden has been growing a bit strangely this year.
