The First Tomato

. . . didn't last long enough for a picture.  Never mind that it was just a little cherry tomato.  I have to say having ANY tomatoes on June 9 is a miracle.  And the one red cherry tomato was so yummy!  I should have taken a picture, but what's one little tomato having its picture taken.

I also accidentally harvested some onions.  They were bigger than I have ever grown before, too.  And harvested earlier than ever . . . of course, part of the reason for that is that Sepia always ate my onions before I could get them harvested!

I have potatoes that are already starting to die off.  Susan harvested two plants this week, and she advised that I leave mine for awhile longer, so I will, but I suspect they will be out of the ground long before usual.

There are already chiles on my vine, nearly ready to be picked.  That never happens in June, either.  And there are plenty of tomatoes on the vines that are still green.

This is a weird, weird weather year, but I am loving having the produce setting on so quickly.  Should be a good summer of eating!
