Tomatoes as tall as the sunflowers.

Non-Plant Life In (or Near) the Garden
We found another tomato hornworm today- it was incredibly fat and happy. One of the clues (aside from the stripped tomato branches) was the presence of what turns out to be worm poop on the ground.
Also, we had some visitors outside the fence. We were worried about animals being able to make their way through the fence to munch on the veggies. These pet bunnies were outside the fence causing the garden no harm. One of them was even on a leash!

Soybeans – you can’t beat them for productivity
This one soybean plant had about 50 pods, each with two or three beans. It’s like a meal on every plant.
The nodules on the roots are where the nitrogen-fixing bacteria live. Soybeans feed themselves!
Not so perfect
The Yellow Perfection tomatoes have almost all split before harvest. On the other hand, they are prolific.
Taste testing is mixed. A few gardeners think that they are bland and uninteresting. On the other hand, one gardener thinks they are amazingly good. Go figure.
