Garden update & harvest 8/19/13

 this Oxheart tomato is so heavy it's sitting on the ground
 I got all the overgrown lettuce out!
 next to go...the dried up chamomile
 chamomile gone...
 next...most of the powdery, dried up zucchini leaves
 zucchini cleared...left a few leaves near the still growing zucchinis
 most of the cucumber is dried up, apart from the plant on the left
 next to go...the calendula flowers
 calendula out...
 more tomatoes are turning color: )
 several chocolate cherry tomatoes ready to pick
 the clean-up ready to be dumped...pruned tomato stems in the bag, and yellowing kale
 the path all has fresh wood-chips....took 3 heaping wheel barrow trips



 I decided to leave the dino kale uncovered...the white moths, find their way in anyways and many caterpillars took feasted already!
 I still don't know what these mystery plants are, given by a fellow gardener...I don't know what part is edible!

 today's harvest, 3 large tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, 2 zucchini and 1 cucumber
this zucchini got super fat!
