I found a few golden plum tomatoes that were ripe for a salad when I got home. The lettuce has a couple more weeks before it's big enough but I have some other lettuce in the interim as well as a couple cukes.
I hope I didn't plant the fall veggie seeds too early - they sure are coming up fast! It's been so rainy this summer and the gardens seem happy but there's a point when things will just start rotting. I noticed the tomato plants sent their branches out into the grass and took root there too. I had to pull them back to mulch between the 4x4s because it's impossible to mow there now that there's a plum tree in the middle.
Everything else is so lush including the crab grass. There were a few taking hold in the new fall veggie garden but they had a little "falling out" with me.
I think the happiest things are the bumblebees. They love the bee balm and veronica and I find them sleeping there in the morning as I'm leaving for work.

We were able to have a meal completely harvested from our land last night..... trout from the stream, beets (my favorite), and potatoes....with Chanterelles from my mother's foraging. Makes for a very satisfying feed bag.
I suppose those golden tomatoes satisfied you?
Yay for gardens! I'm hoping to pick up a few Chanterelles at the end of the month in Canada...hope it's not too late. Last night I had not 5 but 6 golden tomatoes...They're starting up now and you know what kind of production capacity little tomatoes have.
