Enoch Live: A rainy morning in the garden

Enoch & I played in the rain this morning while picking our tomato harvest. He enjoyed the "wain" and the garden-fresh grape tomatoes... I think he managed to eat almost half of the harvest (what you see in the colander is the post-Enoch harvest)! :)

So far we've only had grape tomatoes ripen, but I have 1 cucumber and a few other tomato types that are close to being ready now. And my pepper plants have nickel sized peppers growing all over them too. Mmm.. Not much like fresh, home grown veggies!

(About the only problem I've had so far with this year's garden has been yellowing leaves on the bottom of my tomato plants. I'm still not sure if it's a natural tomato thing, blight, or a Nitrogen deficiency.. Any thoughts from other gardeners out there? Most of the yellow leaves do NOT have spots, but a few do.)

what a wonderful way to learn to like vegetables. I recall Kaitlin with a blue face and a nearly empty blueberry picking bowl.

I think the bottom leaves die off to give more energy to the new growth. Better the bottom than the top. Love that little tomato eating man!

Don, I am hoping to take Enoch to a blueberry patch soon!! I think he would really enjoy that!

Mom, I hope you're right about my tomatoes!!

I always thought yellow leaves on tomato plants were a sign of too much water, but I could be totally wrong! :)
