Found this reading the news this morning, feel like I was in the right track with the garden I put in earlier this year.
Managed to get a few heads of lettuce before they bolted, and my tomatoes are starting to ripen. It’s starting to look like I’ll have cucumbers, too!

UPDATE: Pictures!
My first tomato. Probably going to cut into it at lunch so it doesn’t spoil on me.
Thyme, Basil, and the remnants of bolted cilantro. Already harvested the seeds.
Rosemary and a very sad little oregano. Hope I didn’t kill it…
The garden bed. Not sure why the front is so barren. Got a single bush bean to germinate, and what I think is a radish.
Tomato #2! This one will be purple when it’s ripe.
Baby cucumbers!

The deer ate my one kale plant. I still have basil, though! (I think, I haven’t been out to look yet today.) Those deer are really hungry this year: they have mostly stripped my bleeding hearts which they have never touched before, and the rhubarb, too. We had a pretty long stretch of very dry 90 degree + weather and the deer food is pretty thin where things haven’t been watered.

Took a taste of that little red tomato above as I was cutting it up into tonight’s salad. As expected, SO much sweeter than store-bought. 😀
