It all looks wonderful. We picked and shelled more peas tonight.

@seedcorn I picked tomatoes today!

The three rows on the left are Cherokee Purple. The row on the right has 4 German Johnson and the fluted ones are Rosso Sicialan. All the ones in the middle are Sleeping Lady. The very back, on the pink table are more Rosso Sicilian and Tommy Toes.


I think this one is going to make a gardener!!

 

[seedcorn]

On gardener, hope so. I have faith...

On tomatoes........GRRRRRRR. I'm just getting flowers. Although the purple ones, you can have them.

To all new comers, I tell you these southerners are evil. Flaunting their bounty while we are still swimming from way, too much rain.

She is ADORABLE ! WOW you are going to be up to your eyeballs in tomatoes very soon! Did you get any Mortgage lifters to grow this season? DH started plants 2 times and has lost them. I think he is now out of seed

@Carol Dee I have a row of Mortgage Lifters of about 40 plants. I picked the first ripe one today but it was insect damaged and rotten on one side. I tossed it to the pig. Don't worry, I'll save you seed!

Thanks! We think she is adorable too!

 

[Carol Dee]

Thank you so much @baymule (I will let DH know we can grow them again next year.)
Here are our garden helpers.

But mostly they prefer to drive the lawn tractor around and around! Both ate their fill of shelled raw green peas on Father's Day after helping to pick.

 

[baymule]

Those are some mighty fine looking helpers you got there!

That is a beautiful baby, I see that having pretty granddaughters is sort of a trend with you. And your tomatoes are pretty WOWy too! That fluted tomato is pretty,what's the DTM on them?

That baby makes me want to squeeze her!

Oh, the tomatos look good too. Hope this year rewards you for all the hard work you've done on that garden.
