Round Zucchini Squash - a first timer in my garden. This one is a treat to watch. It bulks up almost to the size of your hand within a week once pollinated and is ready to harvest.

2023 Tomatoes are here!

I thought I was planting roma tomatoes, but they look more like San Marzano. Nevertheless tasty. Home grown tomatoes have a taste that you can not buy.

No molly coddling this year. Almost lost two plants to a notorious hornworm, but they perked up back once the caterpillar left. I used natural pest repellents - interplanting with marigolds and basil. It kept the usual culprits - aphids at bay.

California's historic pouring rains ⛈️ ⛈️ and freezing temperatures 🥶 are no match for these tomatoes 🍅🍅🍅. They have held on💪

Birds and animals find it difficult to forage during winters as produce is scarce. I left some unripened ones on the plant for my daily garden visitors 🐦🐦🐿🐿 . They tend to disappear as and when they turn red 😇

Cherry tomatoes!! Second harvest and more incoming 🍅🍅🍅.
Harvesting Tip : Pick tomatoes when they have changed color from green (no need to wait until they turn red completely) along with the stem and they will keep ripening on the shelf. This helps the plant focus its energy on more blooms and fruits. I always keep a mix of red and not so red ones to accelerate the ripening.

It is here ❤️

I have been pretty unsuccessful hanging onto a rose plant for more than a season. Maybe this is the one 🤔 Or maybe it's just because of the scanty rains last season 😒

How do you all care for your roses?
