This morning watering the plants I noticed that the Patio Orange has set our first tomato. The plant has had some leaf roll — caused, I think, by the herbicide that was spread on the complex lawn. Anyway it’s exciting to see a tomato.
I took these pictures Sunday morning:

Since then the Thai Tomato has grown up past the top of the cage, the new peas are all up, there are several more pea pods, and everything else is growing well. The chard is improving quickly with no signs of the leaf borers returning. The watermelon hasn’t taken off yet. I had planted a couple new patio orange tomatoes next to it, but they haven’t come up yet. I don’t know if they’ll have time to grow and produce or not.
Our little patch of a garden is coming along. We still have the bulk of summer and the fall so it’ll be fun to see how it develops.
