Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful garden and abundant harvest with us-truly inspirational!

Whoa, do you happen to know what variety those strawberries are?

Also, nice plants, everything looks neat.

pinklady5 · July 23, 2016

Beautiful!

Randall · July 23, 2016

Thanks all

@Runescape - I can't remember completely but I know they're ever-bearing and it seems like I recall the word, "Rose" being in there somewhere!

A few shots of the tomatoes and the lower end of the garden this morning:

Beautiful again. I can't get over how perfect everything looks. My plants are looking pretty rough at this point and starting to loose the lower leaves. Your lower leaves look as healthy as the new ones up top. Just to top it off the grass in your garden looks better than my front lawn!

Gosh! Thanks, pixlpush.

JD's Special C-Tex

After several of these tomatoes and rave reviews from everyone who's tried them, I've got to say this is one heck of a tomato!

I've grown several of the highly spoken of dark tomatoes and this one is right at the top of the list for me. Outstanding flavor and a really high yield - I feel like this one will definitely be back in the garden next year.

swellcat · July 29, 2016

Nice. That doesn't make me want to take them off the want list.

Randall · July 29, 2016

I think anyone would be happy with that one.

Indian Stripe, Gary'O Sena, Vorlon, Cherokee Purple, Black Krim, Black From Tula all come to mind as ones grown in the past that I'd put them right up against.

Some more from this morning. Mostly JD's and Romeo.

Randall · July 29, 2016

Romeo has been been cranking out the fruits. I really like them as a paste.

In the second two shots is a reg leaf version of Big Ben.

It's a bit later like most of the Pinks I've grown, we'll see how it tastes soon!

Randall · July 30, 2016

A row of Romeo.

Now that most of the first trust is harvested, they're cleaned up and ready for the next round.

Barb_FL · July 30, 2016

I agree, that's a beautiful garden. The Romeo's look huge and super productive! I also love your mushroom garden.

I would love to see your avatar picture; from what I can tell, that looks amazing!

Sunflowers starting to open and my dog, Felicity getting some shade from the squash.

Beautiful garden. Lots of hard work is paying off. Black tomatoes were earlier for me as well this year. Some pinks gave a few but mostly were more than a week later. I agree about JD's Special C-Tex, it is consistent producer with good taste.
