The garden is now in full swing, we've been picking tomatoes, cucumbers and squash every day. Check out the size of this tomato!

The tomato plants are going strong and they are full of fruit. Here's a shot of what I've started calling "tomato alley."
This year we're trying some different varieties of squash that seemed interesting. Two of the varieties we're trying are Costata Romanesca zucchini, an heirloom Italian variety which is grown for its nutty flavor and Tromboncino squash, another Italian variety which is trombone shaped and tastes a little like acorn squash. We made some the other night, sauteed with a little carmelized onion and it was delicious.

The pepper plants are loaded with sweet peppers, they love the heat! Along with red and orange bell peppers we're growing Corno di Toro peppers again this year. A traditional Italian roasting pepper, they are elongated, shaped a little like a bull's horn. They'll ripen to red and have a nice sweet flavor when roasted or eaten raw.
