pickings

Even though the garden's been rather neglected, it's still feeding us. More Lettuce than I can find what to do with, and now the Tomatoes are starting to come on. Still all green. The mystery trio turned out to be Cherry Tomatoes, and they're still the biggest, healthiest tomato plants I have. Is it because they got started an extra two weeks early indoors? or because they already got a thick mulch of grass clippings, to hold in moisture and discourage weeds?

The Strawberries are starting to slow down, but today I also picked enough Green Beans to make it part of a meal! I didn't even know the beans were producing until I saw some on the plant while I was bent over strawberries today.
