It's not much, but it all grew in my yard. We've also had about a half dozen cherry tomatoes that got eaten already.

I did find some ants eating the fruit. I use a chopstick to elevate them from the ground with a paperclip.. Aside from that I have lots of robins in my garden and enjoyed munching on the beetle,slugs and caterpillars..The only vegetable that did not survive is Kale..

I hand pollinate them and put a lot of pollen on my zucchini. I only have about 6 hour window from morning to do this because the flower dies next day..

It was ok. Great flavor but not the sweetest.

We have to fight with so many things before we can enjoy the fruits / veg /flowers in our garden .. Aphids, caterpiller, slugs, birds, rabbits, rats.. It's no laughing matter.

Tomatoes waiting to be canned. Our Romas are doing particularly well. The onions were pulled in June and dried in the barn.
