Tomatoes and Cantaloupes!

We've been very happily eating fresh tomatoes for a few days now.  This is a picture of Carbon tomatoes that are not ripe yet:
You can't see the 3 ripe ones we picked this morning, because we devoured them.  This type is a dark purple/black type, and it is so yummy.  We've also eaten a pink brandywine, some black vernissage, a Woodle orange, and a couple of Old Germans over the last few days.  Fresh tomatoes just make life better.

And these are cantaloupes.  To be specific, they are Ginger Cantaloupes, which are supposed to get between 8 and 12 pounds!

So far, they are looking great, and they appear to be living up to the size promises.  We did eat a couple of Jenny Lind cantaloupes, which are small, 1 to 2 pound cantaloupes, and they were so delicious.

The daylillies are next to the tomato plants.  It's pretty as well as good for pollination.

And Lydia took my camera to get some pictures of the cats playing in the (dry) fountain.

They are the friendliest kittens, and we have all become very fond of them both.
