Speechless Sundays - SouthPark Bounty

I love a great farmers market but, always have to grow a little something in my own teeny weeny garden each year. This year, we only planted tomatoes & cucumbers and thankfully, have enjoyed a wonderfully mild summer with plenty of rain. Each week, we've had a few nuggets to give away. Today, we had quite the harvest!

 

Organic gardening in the city!

I think I need a bigger basket if these things keep producing like they are...and more neighbors to give them to!

Good morning Debe Maxwell, CRS ,

I love your own farmers market! Beautiful tomatoes and cucumbers..love them even if just sliced with some slices of sweet onion for a salad. I'm sure your neighbors love your gifts of mother natures harvest!

Debe, I did a double take when I saw this on Facebook this morning. They are so beautiful they almost don't look real. A big basket of delicious veggies - perfection!

Oh, Endre Barath, Jr., I remember having to line them up on the kitchen window sill to ripen or the bunnies would nab them before we did! I couldn't wait for them to ripen - I love my tomato, Duke's mayo & pepper sandwiches! 

Have a great week, Endre!

The rain and mild climate have helped so much here, Myrl Jeffcoat! I can't believe how much we have and as you said, we're swimming in tomatoes and cucumbers (not squash) here!! At least we're eating healthy though, right?!!

LOL I would have no idea how to package these things for them to get to you intact, James Dray, or I certainly would ship you some, neighbor!!  

Happy Monday!

We have deer in our backyard too, Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 but, the fence has kept them out...so far! I'm counting my lucky stars and I hope they keep out too!

Hi Gabe Sanders! Ray certainly will - I'm still not able to eat and it's about to kill me with all of these glorious tomatoes hanging around my kitchen!! Maybe some tomato soup?!!

Hi Debe,

Those really really look good. My son would plant a garden in my backyard and the tomatoes were always so sweet and tasty so I can just imagine what yours taste like YUM!

Hi Dorie Dillard! Oh, every day I want to stop at one of the farmers markets - I could just walk the isles for an hour!!  It's nice having a little something for yourself to harvest too though.

Makes me wish I was your neighbor. One of my builders brings me fresh tomatoes from Arkansas because he knows I am a fanatic.

Hi Mary Douglas! So sweet of you to ask - I had oral surgery and am on a liquid to light-soft diet (eggs, grits, mashed potatoes, etc) until October! I had cadaver bone implanted in my jaw as somehow it began to deteriorate over the years. It's not been a fun 2 weeks but, today was my best day - each day is getting better, thankfully! I can't eat things with seeds or acid for about 2 more weeks so, I'm hoping that we still have plenty when I'm allowed to!

Sounds like a heck of a diet plan Debe :-) Glad to know each day is getting better and sending you good wishes for a speedy recovery!

Now, that's the best kind - the ones you don't have to plant and take care of - and they're still homegrown, George Souto! Enjoy them this year!
