Almost all of this is yesterday's harvest from our burgeoning tomato & pepper plants. Our feeble attempts to prop up the tomato plants have continued to prove inadequate...I had to re-situate the roma bush this morning. We may be reduced to using tent stakes and twine to counterbalance the weight pulling them over.
I add our ineptitude to demonstrate that I'm not bragging about our green-thumbness . . . if it were a matter of skill, we'd be getting maybe 10-12 tomatoes for the entire summer.
The longer we have this yard, and the more things we try to cultivate, we realize that in order to have a showcase yard, you have to be willing to put all of your energy and time into weeding & feeding & pruning & japanese-beetle-exterminating (which brings to mind the most disgusting experience I've had in a long time--let's just say it involved several-day-old bags full of dead & half-dead beetles).
The new addition is a double-lane slip & slide that actually works. Pictures are verboten, but I can attest to The Spouse's skill in slip/sliding.
