The small varieties are setting tons of tomatoes and today, May 4th was my first picking……not many but the gates are open. I guess Mother Nature whispered……”May the 4th be with you”……LOL. Yes, “kinda” corny, but I couldn’t resist. The surprise for me today, upon my return from babysitting grandsons in Denver, were the number of tomatoes set on my Brandywine vine…..I promise some photos later in a week…..maybe less.
I have quite a few beets that have blown up into to monstrous sizes in the past few weeks too. Hope they will still be edible. Sugar snap peas are almost done and now I need to get my Blue Lake Pole beans going. My two eggplants are blossoming but no fruit yet. The plants are robust looking so I think I may have some eggplant lasagna in the future. I was gone for 8 days up to Denver and the weeds have jumped ahead and will keep me busy for the next week or more.
Bees……next few days and into next week will find me evaluating the honey stores and looking to see if I can rob any to take care of my customers. wish me luck!!!!!!!!

I smile again my friend .”.,the weeds”. Garden at home, mom would tell my younger brother and I to go wedged the large vegetable garden …always Saturday. The reward was we went to a community park with a swimming beach when we finished. Never figured this out. I do not remember my sister having to weed… If course, she was younger ..,and my dad called Princess (Jimmy Dean song). My brother I pulled the tops, went swimming and Monday back in the garden to complete the job. It was more difficult on Monday. Maybe someday I will do share my college garden after I got married. Anyway friend, glad to hear about your harvest. Oh, and I still am not a good “weeder”
