I was inspired to arrange the tomatoes after taking some photos of today's harvest on the deck. It was near sunset, I had the porch light on and I couldn't believe the colour that was coming through in the shots. I just found some fantastic new lighting yipee!

The only problem was, the table on the deck isn't exactly level, and well, tomatoes are bloody round so I was looking like quite the juggler as I tried to spell 27 #ulog. I'm sure anyone driving by would have been like wtf as I am on the porch with my camera taking photos of a table with one hand whipping around at mach 10 trying to keep the letters arranged.

O. The only letter that didn't give me any trouble. What a beauty eh?

I forget what this kind is called, but you can peel pieces of the fruit off in sections, it's really unique!.

That's what it looks like on the plant.
And Since We're in the Greenhouse...

I just love looking through the poly these days, and seeing all that green and red. We've waited all year for this.
Lushness and Abundance. We are at the Maximum.

A Morning Rain
And when the sun came out how could I miss this gorgeous opportunity for a photoshoot with my pal the Kale plant?

I planted a few rows of peas earlier in the week :)

I have a row of tall cosmos lining the south side of the front lawn garden, and in my vision the peas will climb up their stalks. Little white, pink and purple flowers in October...growing all over the fading cosmos. And then the treat at the end, eating more peas! Mmmm...

Easy to do just get rid of some of that grass in your yard, put a seed in the dirt, water occasionally, and in 3 months enjoy some free food.
Final Pretties of the Day

What a fun garden! I have never seen pick and peel tomatoes before!
We are working to sneakily grow extra food and pretties around grandmas house, I love your mission!
Love and Light :)
L & L back to you @ecoinstant! Way to grow at your Grandma's place!
Great attempt at a home made poster for your post! I am giggling thinking of you keeping those tomatoes in place to make it!! Great growing! More peas at this time of year, lucky! Love your gardens ❤ Love you!! ❤🐝❤
Planting 2 crops of certain veggies does indeed still blow my mind. I love the climate here!! Just enough snow for that peaceful feeling, but it never overstays its welcome. No cold temps really until Dec.
Friggin blissful as hell. I can't seem to move myself off my deck. Actually don't even want to. This is heaven. I love tomatoes. I ate all the little ones off my plant on the side. mmmm. I miss that big greenhouse. aaa a future thought yet once again. perfect shots yet once again. xx
I know right, I miss the big greenhouse so much too, that place was my sanctuary...oh well, I just made the whole land my sanctuary this year <3 I know what you mean about not being able to leave the deck! Love your deck...
I have gone nowhere all week except the grocery store and the massage clinic. I am stuck there. lol
That last picture gives new meaning to the phrase "concrete jungle"!
Gorgeous!! I love your garden so much. 💜
I was laughing to myself picturing you trying to juggle those maters into a good picture. Totally something I would do. Rock on sis!
I'm glad I could give you a chuckle <3 Thanks for reading Angel Sis!
Everything is so beautiful!!! Those tomatoes are the coolest, the weird ones that are cherry tomato balls. I can't remember the name either haha!! Your gardens are so weed-less i am soooo jealous! Peas and cosmos is such a good idea too, great job sis <3
Weedless yes, but at a cost lol, my index finger on my left hand is still sore from weeding too viciously LOL~ I need to incorporate a better method next year. I hope you're feeling better beautiful Sis! So great to see you here YAY!!!!!
Aww your poor finger! The cardboard is working here where i used it, could be thicker....crazy year for weeds here too!!
Yess, and how did that black mesh stuff work this year?
#lifefindsaway !!! :D
Those peel-a-piece tomatoes are wild! They look kinda melted or mutant. LOL I'm sure they're probably some cool heirloom that grocery stores think isn't pretty enough but has way more flavor!
I don't even have blooms on my tomatoes yet, I'm telling you, it will be another February harvest. LOL
Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us. <3
YAY for February tomato harvesting! HAHA everything you do is so unique @phoenixwren.
I am nothing if not strange!

Wow your garden and the produce is just sensational. I am LOVING all those toms!! It just gives me such a warm feeling to see what you have achieved . Love to you Lyndsey - gonna make some ketchup maybe? HomemAde roasted garlic ketchup is my new favourite 😘❤️🌈🦋🌴🍀
Thanks for reading/checking out the photos SallyBeth, I would love to have enough tomatoes for ketchup, alas we eat most of them raw as they ripen haha! One day I will have a farm, and sauces will be a possibility finally. We eat a LOT.
Hooray for harvest time!
That bubble tomato makes me uncomfortable somehow. It's almost Lovecraftian. A Cthulomato.
Bwa hahahahhaaa I just googled your words LOLOL I agree completely!! There is something disturbing about this breed...
