Growth spurt

Suddenly there is fruit on the vines!  It never ceases to amaze me how much growth can occur in the garden in a single day.  Saturday afternoon I spotted the first of the Black Icicle tomatoes as well as a single tiny green orb that will become a Mama Leone tomato.  Today, these same tomatoes are literally twice the size!

Everything in the garden continues to grow rapidly.  Even a couple of the soybean seeds have finally sprouted.  The borage and bergamot blooms are in full swing and attracting many different types of bees to the garden, as well as dragonflies.  So far, with the dragonflies on patrol, there aren't any pest problems.

I suspect that by this time next week the garlic will be ready to harvest.  The warmer temperatures earlier in the season have really moved growth along.
