tomatoes and knits

We finally got our first "real" harvest of tomatoes.  I've been picking tomatoes here and there for the past couple of weeks, but we haven't had a decent amount to have a filling snack with or anything like that. Well today was my lucky day because I collected all of these!

We've also gotten a lot of rain this past week, therefore I've had time to do a little knitting.  I'm already working on holiday gifts as well, but unfortunately I won't be able to post photos of them until winter, lest a future recipient see them.

With projects and veggies abound, I have got my work cut out for me! My brandywine tomatoes are turning pink too, which only means that I better get my canner out!

How does your garden grow?

...with no silver bells or cockle shells, but we have a lot of vegetables!! This summer we've had the absolute best weather for our garden. Everything is growing really well with little to no true pests.

Lastly, there are the wonderful insects that patrol the area. This lovely little fellow is looking back at the camera...

Stay green! :)
