The lettuce was delicious, the cucumbers were plentiful, the early girl tomatoes were delightful; but it was the sun golds that, once again, knocked my socks off. Because they are so sweet and flavorful, I find that much of my harvest is eaten before I even get them into my kitchen. Now the leaves of the forlorn plant are withered and brown; and, though a few desperate hangers-on are still trying to ripen, this is just about the end of the line.
So, thank you and farewell. Until next year...
so sad to see it endbut it does make us apreciate it more when it returns,, lovely post.

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that it's ending for you but delighted that it's beginning for me. Light at 6am this morning, wonderful! And the smell of jasmine on my neighbour's fence a sure sign of Spring.
ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting for my tomatoes to ripen. Please ripen. I'm so ready!

How wonderful to have a food addiction that's actually good for you. I'm a vegetable lover too, and there's nothing better that the produce right off the vine or out of the ground. You live in a non-frost area, don't you? Will there be winter vegetables to tide you over until next year?
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! The stems look like little green stars. We are still getting tomatoes...yum : )
