nonelvisIt's been a surprisingly long time since the last Garden Madness entry, but there's finally something exciting to post about: TOMATOES. Even more exciting than usual, what with the CSA having lost its entire tomato harvest to late blight – makes me glad I planted my own, and that I've been lucky enough so far to miss the blight.
They're sitting on top of what's probably the last big harvest of sugar snaps, though I won't count out the peas just yet; they've been quite prolific this year.
The tomatoes wound up in a mixed vegetable salad whose only non-local ingredients were the lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper. The peas, tomatoes, parsley, and lemon thyme are mine; the green peppers, summer squash, favas, and leek are from the CSA.
Also, I CAN HAS BLACK-EYED SUSANS! For some reason, the last couple times I planted them, they totally failed. Not this year.
And finally, there may yet come a day when I am tired of photographing bees on the echinacea. Today is not that day.
(Very much worth viewing at original size for maximum hairy bee cuteness.)
