Finally, my tomatoes ripened over the weekend. We have Burpee Plum, Beef Steak and Brandy Wine Boy tomato varieties growing. We made a delicious Spaghetti Bolognese dinner tonight with the fresh plum tomato and oregano and basil too - nothing like fresh organic vegetables. The Ronzoni pasta was free too.
My pickled cucumbers are still going strong - they just need lots of water. I'm excited to pickle some more as my last batch were awesome.
My eggplants are still going strong, I've harvested 4 so far and many more are still growing. I have a tonne of green peppers too.
How does your garden grow?

I can't wait for mine to ripen! I've never heard of brandy wine boy before. I always look for neat varieties but this year I had a hard time finding any.
Last year I did golden boy .. they where bright yellow .. amazing!
Check out Burpee's online catalog http://www.burpee.com/search/search.jsp?pageNum=0&pageSize=6&facetTrail=&question=brandywine&propSel=both&sort=default&_requestid=1795208 - They have some great varieties. Target, Home Depot & Lowes had some of Burpees neat varieties. Next year I'm going to try some other varieties too. My neighbor brought home a purple pepper. I want to try that. I've also got a yellow pear tomato growing but it hasn't ripened yet. Its like a grape tomato but yellow in color.
Congratulations for your amazing harvest! Your tomatoes are the best! I don't see tomatoes as big and healthy as yours! They are perfect! Fresh veggies are really delicious for recipes.
