It's a jungle in there!

I've been slack on keeping my greenhouse tomatoes pruned and they've grown out of control. Looks like a jungle in there! Anyway even if I was on top of the pruning this greenhouse is still too small for growing tomatoes. I need a bigger greenhouse but I don't have the space for it..

Fruits of my labor

We managed to harvest some produce from our garden today. There's heaps of bush beans we pick for dinner tonight, green and yellow. We also found some cucumbers for salad too. Some may be a little curvy but I bet they taste better than the ones you buy in the shop. These are the fruits of my labor!

Tommy Toe tomatoes

Tommy Toe tomatoes are a favourite with everyone. Eat with salad or just by their own we can never have enough of them. Can't wait for them to ripen up.

Tigerella tomatoes

I found this Tigerella tomatoes from CERES so I thought I'd give it a go. The fruits are medium sized but the colour when ripe can range from red to yellow with stripes on.

San Marzano tomatoes

We had some San Marzano tomatoes growing last year and we were not disappointed. So we decided to grow more of them this year. The fruits come in roma shape tomatoes and are great in any dish you're cooking.

Riesentraube tomatoes

This year due to the the wet spring weather, some of my outdoor tomatoes suffered from early blight. However the greenhouse tomatoes are doing well because they are sheltered and warm. Though I haven't got any tomatoes ready for eating yet, I thought I show you some of the varieties I got growing; this is called the Riesentraube tomatoes, origin is Germany I believe and the fruits come in clusters of cherry size tomatoes.

Chilli Caysan seedlings

My chilli plant from last year has survived the winter and now is doing well into its second year. It's even self seeded tons of seedlings and I have heaps to give away. Let me know if you like some. They're the Caysan variety and are mildly hot.

Bonica eggplant

Just a quick update on my summer crops; most are still small so not much to eat yet. However I am looking forward to having this eggplant for dinner soon. This year we decided to plant just one eggplant, last year we had plenty and were almost sick of eating eggplants everyday so I think one plant should be enough this year. We planted the Bonica varieties because the fruit is big so there's plenty to eat!

Today's lunch

My lunch today will comprised of quiche from down the street, cucumbers from the backyard and strawberries from the front yard. What are you having for lunch?
