If I am what I eat, I’m 70% tomato right now.

Happy to see the paperWasps in the wasp-house are thriving in my community garden plot.
Lotsa tomatoes from the community garden this year. And I haven’t bought a single plant! The heirloom and Roma tomato seedlings were given by a fellow gardener who ran out of space in her plot and the grape tomatoes grew from the seeds of the supermarket ones. They’re all delicious!
Found a couple of very ripe bittermelons
Et voilà, the airFried bittermelon fillets!!
I was trying to take a photo of the paperWasps inside of one of the waspHouses in my community garden plot this evening. This one came out to protest wasp paparazzi. They’re so cute.
Transplanted three wild burdock plants in my community garden plot this evening.

Other recent haul from #gardenPlot14. I only grow what grows well without much effort* in my plot.
*compost, water and lots of sun—that’s about it
Descriptions are in the AltTexts

I had to pick some of the large ones because they were weighing down the plants too much. I underestimated them to grow so big so fast. I didn’t have the support structures ready.
Bumblebee is hard at work on the green bean flowers in my community garden plot. *grateful*

And sweet basils are growing at last. I love the taste of basils to the point I snack on them sometimes.
Arugula went to flower
Pretty good harvest today. Bittermelons are doing so well in the bouts of heatwaves.
Pls see the AltText for names of the greens.

Garlic chives in my community garden plot.
When they flower, bees love them. Sometimes, cottontail babies shelter among them.
The rains also brought dragonfly army! This one guards my community garden plot from mosquitos.

After two nights of rain and warm weather, everything grew exponentially in my #communityGarden plot.
Marjoram is one of my fav go to herbs. I pretty much add it to everything I cook. It’s more antioxidant than oregano, and goes with everything. Super herb!
Two photos are a month apart.
It was a beautiful day, a bit too windy, which ended up helpful against mosquitos. Tidied up outside of the fence for wildflowers as well as some leftover veggie for wildlife.
My plot looks as neat as it’d look before it gets out of hands.
So, I’m sipping some ginger tea with cinnamon stick to ease the pain—gardening is much more strenuous than gym workout! Still have more to plant!

Planted two remaining tiny kales that had been growing on the #IndoorShelfGarden since last spring for our ratties.
