Garden update round 146

It occurred to me that I've only posted overview pictures of the garden for quite a while so here are a bunch of more detail pictures.
The herb square. We've seriously tried to keep up with the herbage including cutting a lot of tarragon last week to make vinegar (the oil experiment was tossed after a week because it was cloudy and I'm afraid of being the microbiologist who gives people botulism), cutting savory yesterday to dry, and putting parsley in pretty much everything we've been eating. The rosemary and chives are finally coming up in the center but you can't really see them in this picture

The main bed





We pulled the peas this past week and most of the kohlrabi so there isn't much going on in that bed other than baby edamame. We've replanted peas for round 2 in September and are still trying to decide what do do with the kohlrabi squares.

Dr. Wyches Yellow tomatoes



Purple Calabash, yippie. We lost all of the Purple calabash last year to curly top virus, so are excited to have healthy "ugly" tomatoes this year.


Speaking of ugly tomatoes, this was one of the first brandywine tomatoes to set. It's a mutant conjoined tomato but I expect it to taste just as good as the prettier brandywine...and it's huge already.


And finally, the midgets are starting to ripen.
