Here are my harvests for the week. I got my first tomato, a few jalapenos, and my second set of peaches and cream corn.
Two jalapenos, I need many more so I can make jalapeno poppers.
My very first tomato ever, this is a Roma paste tomato.
I am picking purple hull peas every night, this is my third bag this season

It's good to see you've gotten your first tomato. The first one of the season is always special. Your corn looks great, I wish I had the room to try growing some.
Enough with the corn pictures, Kris. My stomach is growling! There's nothing I like better than fresh, sweet corn on the cob.
Ed - You should give growing corn a try. You can plant corn in raised beds and have pretty good luck with it. As far as the tomato, I am not sure what to do with it since it is so small.
Granny - I know and I am sorry, but now you know how I feel when I look at your rasberry and strawberry pictures. My wife just asked me if I could grow some strawberries to make strawberry jelly. I said I don't know, but maybe if you pay off Granny she will send you some.
I like the looks of those Peas, I'm salivating for them I used to pick them in NJ
but haven't found anyplace here in NC..I have to buy them frozen..
Gingerbread - Are you wanting to grow them or someplace to pick them fresh? I have some contacts if you are wanting to grow them. Let me know.
Ed - I've got ~15 stalks of corn growing in a 31-gal rubbermaid tub and may get to pick the first of it today.
Kris - strawberries are easy...I have 7 hanging baskets full and we were swimming in berries for a while. My boys just loving grabbing a few every time they walk by. Made some low-sugar strawberry banana freezer jam and it's SOOOO good. Tastes just like fresh berries!
Barbara - That sounds awesome! I may have to try growing some strawberries next season. I love making strawberry short cakes with with whip cream.
