Roma Tomatoes...coming soon!

Our garden is flourishing! It has been fun for the kids to go just about every day and see things growing / changing and picking produce. Evelyne planted peas and of course eats them as she picks them....and the cherry tomatoes; we've only had a few, but rarely have they made it home. From seed we planted the lettuce bed, green beans and peas. Everything else we had starts for. A fellow gardener gave me 5 tomato plants...I was never intending on having 10 but it just worked out that way. So, we'll be busy in a couple of weeks making sauces and eating all things tomato.

Our arugula was attacked by a "flea beetle" yes it looks just like it sounds and jumps. I bought some organic spray to get rid of them, we'll see if it works. it's funny all other lettuces are unscathed, just the arugula has shotgun holes through the entire leaf.

One bad thing; our gardens seem to be getting raided at night. We have some thieves coming through stealing produce. My basil plant was stolen right out of the ground.....bummer.
