Our garden has been growing quite well, especially given the fact that I am not consistant with my care and upkeep of it at all. I also have no excuse for this, since I do not work in the summer...but I digress. Fortunately, tomatoes and yellow squash can handle my neglect. So far, we've harvested four HUGE squash, which we've shared with the neighbors and grilled up for some summer dinner lovin. We've also got a ton of cherry tomatoes (also shared/eaten), and 3 of the juiciest, most decadent regular-size Jersey tomatoes I've ever had the pleasure of eating. They managed to make a gluten-free bagel taste delicious (no easy task).
If the tomatoes keep coming, I will be looking into turning them into tomato sauce and possibly jarring and freezing it. Or just eating it all and forgetting about the jarring.
Our basil and mint plants are also doing swimmingly, and we've injested a ton of mozza pasta and mint green tea to prove it.
Red peppers, cilantro and cucumbers, not so much.
