Lots of hot weather and good watering and fertilizer from Dad means that we have giant cherry tomato plants and Mom and Dad have already eaten quite a few cherry tomatoes, although the yield of them compared to the size of the plant is rather mingy. The clusters of little cherry tomatoes are pretty cute, though!
The basil is going great guns too - like Cory, I think I better get onto Mom to make a big batch of pesto (though it gives her indigestion to eat basil in such large quantities). I am explaining to the plant here that it is about to lose a lot of leaves:
Gardening is lots of work, and in this heat, a guy needs to rest and nap a lot.
But in the end, it is time to let them know I need to go inside, where the air conditioning is comfortable, and where I can drop hints for another refill of my food bowl. Happy Gardening All!
Your garden is looking really good Simba! You have been working really hard out there and certainly deserve some extra refills on that food bowl!
ReplyDeleteNice garden Simba. I hope they fill the bowl with crunchies and not pesto!
ReplyDeleteThe tomatoes are very cute ~ and the basil awesome! We hope yoo get a big helping of crunchies.
ReplyDeleteOh the basil looks fabulous! My Mommeh eats that stuff with tomato and mozzarella.
ReplyDeleteYes very hard work Simba, you go and rest now!
ReplyDeleteGreat basil :-) Our basil is the only herb that did well this year, everything else (dill, cilantro, even mint) died, I think maybe it was too hot
Wow Simba your garden is looking great!
ReplyDeleteLots of noms for the Mom and Dad in your garden.

Your garden DOES look nice! Momma likes to make homemade veggie pizzas with lots of chopped fresh basil on them....just an idea for your Mom. If we were there, we'd certainly give you extra snacks for all the hard work you've done in the garden.
ReplyDeleteGreat gardening, Simba! Wally thinks he would like to whap some of those cherry tomatoes around. What is with him and the tomatoes??

We are getting impatient around here...staring at the tomatoes...waiting for them to turn from green to red. Mom says a watched tomato will not ripen. What does she know?
ReplyDeleteYour deck looks awesome, and the basil and tomatoes and basil looks tasty to my mum. Enjoy your sunshines, we have lots of rain this weekend.
