JT was the most excited about planting some beefsteak tomatoes and we finally picked our first one today! Unfortunately it was not much bigger than a cherry tomato!
And top off the day with BBQ squash...YUM!

My shady garden
Our new yard doesn't have a garden spot and I didn't know what to do with the empty flower bed that is under our deck, so in May I decided that I would love to have some squash and tomatoes. JT said that it was futile since the area is shaded for most of the day, but I didn't let that squash (he he he) my enthusiasm. We have been getting a few zuchinni and yellow squash, and even a few of the early girl tomatoes. So for future information...a garden likes sun, but it is not COMPLETELY necessary! :)

Wow! I'm impressed with the shady garden. Good Job!
Sadly, your one tomato is about the same size as the ONLY tomato we picked from our garden this year. I planted 2 tomato plants and we only got one measly tomato! Enjoy your crop!
It did better than I thought it would. I guess 1 tomato is better than none, right?
Hey, you got a tomatoe, that was more than you expected and some zucchini and squash too? Wow! I have made so many loaves of zucchini bread this year. DELICIOUS! If you need a recipe, let me know because I made up a good one from the traditional using bananas, too.
OOOPS! I know tomato doesn't have an e at the end unless it is plural, but in our family we call tomatoes, "toe toes" because that's what Kaleb used to call them. I guess I wasn't thinking!
I think I know where you can get some manure for your shady garden...heh heh heh
So cool! This is the first year in many that we didn't have a garden. It has made me sad. I guess we have been busy enough with the apricots, peaches and apples! :) How will I fit in a garden next year?!?!?
