Well, it's been an unusually slow to warm summer for us here in the Great Northwest and my plants are the proof. I just picked and ate our first ripe tomato last night (they have been planted since early June). I even moved them to a sunnier spot in our yard this year but they are still taking forever to ripen. I guess that's okay, I just found a good recipe for fried green tomatoes.
All my seedlings I had planted inside died before it got nice enough to plant them outside so I replanted them all straight into the bed in late July. What we have growing right now: In the bed on the left we have yellow cherry tomatoes, regular tomatoes, Roma tomatoes and regular cherry tomatoes. Along with a spinach plant that suffered abuse from a pup and then some lettuce mixes. In the bed to the right we have beans, snow peas, carrots, zucchini, cucumber, leeks, and peppers. I probably planted too much in that box but seeing where they are at now I'm thinking it won't matter much by the time fall hits us. I am hoping for an extended summer though or a very mild fall so I can at least reap a little harvest!
