I got the first tomatoes from my garden today. *smiles beatifically* Yummmmmm....

Sir Now Appearing has pointed out that we already have trouble eating the entire CSA box every week even without the garden producing. Having never successfully grown anything before, I honestly didn't expect to get anything much. And, well, the asparagus never did come up (though we would have had to wait a few years for it to establish anyways), and the lettuce and nasturtiums couldn't take the heat, and bugs got the eggplant, and the black raspberries are dead sticks in the ground, and yet STILL I am contemplating the coming harvest with mounting horror.

Example: I planted one squash plant. ONE. I wish to inquire of the management why there are THREE squash plants currently growing over the rest of back garden. I don't even like squash all that much.

(Unlike thefourthvine, however, I did not plant a pumpkin - thank goodness. Pumpkins should come in cans like God intended.)

And while home-grown tomatoes are, admittedly, better than 99.9996% of any food in this world, perhaps it was not the best idea I ever had to put in 11 plants. I honestly thought most of them would die! They always did before! Perhaps there's something to this composting thing after all...

So, if you are local and you find bags of squash and tomatoes left on your doorstep in the middle of the night... Wasn't me. :)
