Went out to mow the back lawn and discovered some things were ripe! Found my first and only ripe tomato but a few more are on their way to turning, including my black cherry tomatoes. My mini acorn squash looked about ripe to me due to the orange spots that had previously been yellow and the ease at which they snapped off the vine when I was inspecting them. I picked a few more peppers, both cayenne and serrano. Hot sauce is going to be made this week! And last but certainly not least is the mammoth 2 foot long squash that had been hiding under masses of squash leaves and vines. Not that it takes long for them to get that big. A day or two really. I wonder if it will be at all salvageable for food or if it is beyond good eating status. Oh well! Pretty excited to try all of these new treasures from the garden.
