Tomatoes, cucumbers, and compost, oh my!

We have been so busy lately - sorry for not updating as much as I should be! I'll get back into the swing of things soon. :)

Just posting a quick update on our garden! Things are going really well and our plants are producing lots! We've had a problem with the mockingbirds eating at least half of our ripe tomatoes but we're told that's a common problem in TX! We also live near two grocery stores and a bunch of fast food restaurants so there are a lot of birds in our area.

Here was last night's haul for the tomatoes (we've been picking them a little early in order to keep the mockingbirds from getting to them first).

please excuse the dusty patio table :)

I have NO idea what type of cucumber plant we purchased but it produces the biggest dang cucumbers I've ever seen in my life!We also added a new batch of compost to the garden again last night! :) It is so dark and nutrient dense - it's so neat to toss all of our compostable table scraps into the bin and just see it disappear. I have no doubt this a huge reason our plants have been doing so well!

We've definitely been enjoying the "fruit of our labor"! :)
