A Few More Tomatoes and another Batch of Beans

This is going to be a small post today because it looks like many of my harvests are winding down and I don’t think I will be picking as many tomatoes for the rest of the season.  My Roma tomatoes are done for the most part and cherry tomatoes are still around with more fruit.

Beans on the other hand are probably one of the last plants that are continuing to produce other than my pepper plants.  I should see a very large harvest from my beans soon and today I was able to fill half a bowl of them.  I might be able to fill up two bowls from one harvest if my beans are going to produce more flowers and pods.

Besides some peppers, an eggplant, and some broccoli plants the last thing from the summer will be a couple of watermelons.  These are always some of the last fruits from the garden and should be harvesting them soon.  I would say early October and these melons will be completely done and ripe enough to eat.

Cherry Tomatoes are Now Ready for Harvesting

I just took a look at my tomato plants today and saw that many of them are growing good and have good looking tomatoes.  What interested me the most was my cherry tomato plants.  They had some that were perfectly red and ready to be eaten.  I had taken a few here and there that were ready about a week ago, but there wasn't enough for a harvest.  I also wanted to make sure that they tasted right.

Not any of my other tomatoes are ready for picking, but this always happens every year.  My cherry tomatoes start first and then a little bit more time passes and then I will start picking either my steakhouse tomatoes or my Roma super sauce tomatoes.  It depends on how much sun each plant gets and how long it has been growing.  Right now I think the next tomato will be one of my steakhouse tomatoes.  Those are perfect for sandwiches.

I picked 47 cherry tomatoes and this is just a first harvest.  I can't imagine how many more I will pick between the four plants that I have growing these amazing tomatoes.

I also had some beans that were ready for picking as well.  Not many beans this time, but I think once my vines get some flowers growing I will have another good harvest like I had previously.  This is just a third harvest of many more to come hopefully.
