Cantaloupe, Tomatoes, and Zucchini Picked

I was looking forward to picking the first melon of the year and I thought that it was going to be one of my cantaloupes.  I was hoping that my honeydew would be ready by this week, but instead one of my cantaloupes had disconnected from the plant meaning that it is ready for harvesting.

I also picked some more steakhouse, Roma, and cherry tomatoes.  I did not pick as many cherry tomatoes as my previous harvests, but at least I got a few Romas to make up for it.

I am a little excited to try the first melon of the season and I like to leave it out for a couple days and then cut it open.  For now I just have to wait until it is a little bit softer to cut into it.  I also like to place them in the fridge before eating it because having warm fruit is just not very appetizing.

It was a decent size and it wasn’t too small like others I have grown before.  This is probably an average size that I am able to grow in the garden.  My plants were most likely too close together which is why they didn’t grow too big.  As long as it is sweet and juicy I will be happy with that.

Some more Roma tomatoes which will be used for making sauce were picked today as well.  I like having tomato sauce during the Winter because it is fresh and organic sauce that I can have whenever I need it.

These super sauce tomatoes lived up to its name and most of them weighed at least one pound each!  I also picked a steakhouse tomato today that weighed one pound as well.  In fact most of the steakhouse tomatoes were at least a pound.

Along with Roma and steakhouse tomatoes I did manage to collect some cherry tomatoes.  There were not as many as before, but I did collect enough that I can use for a simple salad.

I also picked some more pole beans.  I still have plenty that are on the vines along with plenty of flowers.  Hopefully I can get a much larger harvest of pole beans before the season ends.

My zucchini plants are just continuing to produce vegetables and it seems like they are not stopping.  This is perfect because that means I will have more zucchinis to use for the rest of the season.
