One of my favorite things about our backyard (besides the waterfall and pond) is the garden than my husband built for me. I only get to use it for about 5 months but it is SO worth it. This year, I planted 4 types of tomatoes: Champion, Super Fantastic, Roma and Yellow Pear. So far, I like all of them A LOT except for the Roma tomatoes. The Roma's are good - way better than store bought Roma's but compared to the Champions and Super Fantastics they are very bland and dry. I also planted two squash plants, which I unfortunately lost to evil squash bugs, a Sweet Banana Pepper and a green Bell Pepper.
Around the yard, we also have grapes, blackberries, strawberries, a red delicious apple tree, a golden delicious apple tree and blueberries. All are producing fruit this year, their second year, except the blueberries which we just planted this spring.
Most of the produce is not ready yet but we have been able to start enjoying the tomatoes and this weekend, grapes! We were all excited about the grapes.
I will post more pictures of the garden and the yard but to start, here are some pictures of my first big harvest this year!
All of produce is grown organically - no pesticides or toxins at our house!
wow - I love gardening and great tomato crop - has been colder this Winter so didnt get as much of a harvest this year so great to read yours is going so well! fresh picked grapes sound delicious.
