My container garden tomatoes are doing well. I planted red roma, yellow roma and cherry tomatoes. I like the flavor of the cherry tomatoes the best. Here's a little sampling of my bounty.
The peppers are a variety of jalapeno called "Fooled You". They are not hot, but instead taste much more like a bell pepper. The one bush I have is loaded with peppers. I also planted one hot jalapeno for DH. It is producing, but not as much as the FY pepper. The real trick is to pick the peppers at the same time and make sure I don't mix them up because they look so much alike. I don't like the real hot peppers!I also have been harvesting basil and oregano. I'm drying that, crushing it and putting it in bags so I won't have to buy it at the grocery. I've also been snipping off the plants when I make pasta sauce. Fresh herbs give sauce a wonderful flavor!
It's raining at my house today, so I'm hoping that watering from nature will keep my plants producing those wonderful tomatoes and peppers!

Send some of that rain our way...our garden sure could use a good rain - instead of the hose water.
Take care....enjoy life...giggle and eat something exciting.

Yum!!!! Hope you get the rain. That basil looks so good -- nothing like the aroma of fresh basil!
My tomatoes are done, and yours looks so much better than what I saw at the store! Fresh herbs, might have to try that when it cools down some.
Looking forward to seeing pics of the skirt.
