Wood everywhere seems so expensive anymore! That's why we end up using so much "found" stuff to make beds, trellises, and such, haha. Dave will do anything not to spend money.
This season has been a little tough with some crazy weather, but I'm always grateful that we have such a long season to keep on trying. It doesn't seem to help much with my food budget, but I'll keep trying.
The tomatoes are delicious, though some of them are a little on the bitter side. That might be because we do tend to pick them early so the pests don't eat them first, and I'm not always patient enough to let them ripen all the way. My favorite were the Bumblee Bee (yellowy ones), though the Cherokee Purple that I didn't share a picture of are absolutely delicious! The epitome of what a tomato should taste like--I can eat those cut into chunks with just a pinch of salt and be in heaven!
