It’s hard NOT to be in a pretty good mood at this time of year (regardless of what might be going on). There’s nothing quite like the feeling of strolling out into the yard and harvesting naturally-grown (and unbelievably flavorful) tomatoes and basil for the evening’s bruschetta bread mix, or coming across the biggest musk melon you’ve ever seen, growing on what began as a very-neglected “volunteer” plant. Or perhaps it’s just the overall sense of awe you feel as you survey the natural bounty that’s burst forth in such a short time-frame.
It reminds you of the “big picture” importance of all this kooky “worm stuff”, and of the “magic” that attracted you to it in the first place.
Utterly amazing.

Very nice, I have a bowl of Romas thats sceeming seafood marinara.
It has been a good year for health & beauty in the garden.
Those are some awfully nice looking tomatoes. What variety are the purple-ish looking ones on the right?
Mrs.Swininger & Ortman say hello. Last years’ worm bucket is lookin pretty good!
Ole grandpa needs to assess the worm population & give the wormies some powdered egg shells
Gorgeous pickin’s!
Thanks guys!
JOHN – The dark ones are a heirloom variety known as “Black Cherry”. They are VERY tasty – but I’m still waiting for most of the crop to come in. Glad the worm bucket is still going strong!
