Harvesting our Garden!

We have a lot of green tomatos but they seem stuborn and reluctant to turn red.  At long last, we were finally able to enjoy a fresh tomato from our garden.  Sandi celebrated by cutting it up with mozzarela cheese, basil, and balsalmic vinegar.  Even better, we were able to share them with friends over dinner.


Sandi received a water melon start from a friend at OHSU.  We were both a little skeptical about it's viability, but we had nothing to loose.  One day, we saw a little bud that turned into a little melon.  That grew to be a big melon.  We decided to harvest it earlier this week.  The little white thing next to it is a golf ball for scale.


Turns out, we picked it a little un-ripe.  It could have turned a little redder and sweeter, but it's not bad.  We were afraid to let it go too long only to spoil.  Oh well, we might have a few more chances before the season is over.
