New garden update, still growing tomatoes and peppers like crazy!

Happy Wednesday everyone! Halfway through the work week already. I was out in my garden a couple days ago and decided to take some new updated pictures. Weather here in southern California has been perfect for tomatoes and peppers, hot in the day, cool at night. I've got so many jalapeños in the fridge it's time to pickle up a huge batch of them. I'll make up a post when I do.

First up it this Roma tomato hybrid variety. It's producing non stop, and I'm eating tomatoes all day long anymore. This particular hybrid is a San Marzano variety, so sweet and not too acidic.

Some more tomatoes, I have them surrounding the house and in the grow beds. I love tomatoes!

My peppers have done really well, the jalapeño variety I'm growing this year is called La Bomba II. I'm not sure what the first variety tasted like, but these are fleshy and taste great. They have some nice heat to them as well!

At the bottom you can see one I let get too ripe, a bright red jalapeno is always really hot. That's going to be good!

In the background you can see my string beans taking over everywhere. But another jalapeno plant that is producing a load of spicy peppers, every few weeks they have a fresh load to pick.

Here you see some Shishito peppers, a mild pepper that I love to roast on the grill and add to a sauce made of soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. They are so yummy!

More jalapenos next to the house where the old orchard grass keeps invading. This area was all orange groves before the people all showed up in Orange County...

More Shishitos

And more jalapenos among the orchard grass. This has a a nice heavy load of peppers!

I thought I had some of my basil pictures too, and updated tomatillos. I'll save those for next time. I've been having a great year in the garden, but I have let it get so overgrown. It has grown so fast and well it's been really hard to contain this year. One of these years I'll stay on top of it as it grows, but it's easier said that done.

It's sure is nice to get fresh veggies every day from your backyard though. Do any of you grow any gardens at all? What's your favorite item to grow?

That will do it for me today, thank you so much for your support. I hope you have a great rest of the week!

    There's something exciting about summer veggies! Maybe as they taste of warmth and sunshine in direct comparision to earthy cool season veggies. Overgrown tomatoes are not a bad thing I don't think - I used to say that every year: 'one day I'll have neat tomatoes' but I'm just not that kind of tomato gardener haha. I was talking to an Italian guy at a shop the other day and we were saying how good the tomatoes are in Europe, just sliced into bread with a drizzle of olive oil or maybe some good cheese, that's it - simply delicious. But backyard tomatoes, when the soil is right, are the bomb as well. Enjoy!

    Those tomatoes look absolutely amazing! 🍅😂 At this point, your garden is basically running a full-time tomato factory. I love how you’ve got them growing all around the house too
