They've got us surrounded!

The tomatoes, that is.  They’re everywhere!  I dropped off a whole sack of them with ML last night and our fruit bowl is filled to the brim still.  And for every red tomato I pull off the vine, three green ones take its place…  Salsa time, here we come!

On the other side of the garden (all 4 feet of it) I have a new invader.  A small grayish bug which my visiting mother insists is another kind of squash beetle.  Great – just what I need!  The nasty chemical spray I tried earlier in the season has done no good…might have to try something else…

I pulled up a couple of onions last night, too – they are very small, but I’m not sure how big they were going to get anyway – the tops had fallen over and wilted, which I read was a sign of the onions being ready for harvest.  I pulled 3, but I’m planning on leaving the rest in the ground for a while to see what happens…

I've got maters too. We even made fried green tomatoes last night too. Delish! Want the recipe or are yours all red now? We don't know what to do with all of ours either. We're probably going to start handing them out to the neighbors. Oh well.

Like your blog.
