A little progress on setting out Romanesco for the Fall.

Wow! I am just amazed. Look at all of those Fritillary butterflies. I have never seen so many in one small area before. Your soil is amazing and I sure wish that mine was like that. How could your plants not be as beautiful as they are growing in that? Your photography is awesome too.
Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! What kind are the black tomatoes? NVM. I see.

Randall · August 2, 2016

@Shrinkrap - Thanks, yeah that's JD's. I really like it. I ordered more seed and will save some also. I'd like to say I've settled on a dark tomato but I know I'll probably find a couple of new to me varieties to try out, haha!

@MissS - Aww, shucks! Thank you.

A few more shots this am

How the Sunflowers are looking this morning. This is the first time I've grown them so I'm a bit fascinated by them

Randall · August 5, 2016

And photobombed by my rabbit, Snickers.

Randall · August 12, 2016

A few ripe ones

Nice harvest, what are the varieties that you grow this year besides JD and Romeo? Excellent work with mushrooms.

Randall · August 13, 2016

Thank you.

Aside from those two, Stump of the World and Goose Creek Red were the other two grown.

GCR was ok but Stump of the World really impressed me with yield and flavor.

I'm a long time Brandywine fan (Sudduth, Cowlicks and several others) and it I thought it was just as good with a much better yield.

Impressive garden and great pics of it.

Are you picking tomatoes in your avatar?

Randall · August 13, 2016

Thanks!

Haha, yeah!

Some of the last of the season a couple of years ago.

Lucky Cross, I believe it was. Tall plants!

Squeezing through the peak of Late Blight season unscathed and still throwing some really nice fruits
