Harvest of Early 2025 - Food 48

 Our two main plants, Tomatoes and Peppers did great. We harvested some of these vegetables for salads.

The tastes are delicious and juicy. Some people like them added to a spinach leaf and grilled chicken salad.

There are probably still about 100 tomato and some peppers blossoms in our garden, ready to be picked up in second terms. Some neighbors grow okra, herbs, basils, tangerine, satsuma and Myers lemon. Others discouraged to plant anything due to:
- squirrels
- voles
- and other vermin

We believe a cat could deter squirrels to enter our yard. However, Cayote could attack cats or other small pets.

How do you like yours?

  6. Sabrosa cosecha!
    Un problema eso de que algunos animales las echen a perder.

  8. Your garden sounds wonderful! Grape tomatoes and peppers are such a treat, especially when they're homegrown. I can almost imagine the freshness in that salad with grilled chicken! It's exciting that you have so many blossoms still waiting to mature. It's a shame about the challenges with squirrels, voles, and other pests though. It’s always a delicate balance when it comes to keeping them at bay, especially with the risk of larger animals like coyotes. Maybe a little extra deterrent, like natural repellents or even garden netting, could help protect your plants. But, with your great harvest already, it sounds like you're doing an amazing job!
