Home from Tahoe today. And out to the garden. There were nectarines, zucchini, tomatoes and green beans to pick. The nectarine is a dwarf tree and is just three years old. Last year there were four nectarines and this year, with a good spring I picked these:
I gave the tomatoes a good deep watering and as the tomatoes have grown so tall I had to tie them again. While working on them I found this bugger:
I also discovered the first of my winter squashes, Galeux d'Eysines. Hard to believe it will be ten to fifteen pounds and warty come autumn.
This is a copied image of the full grown Galeux d'Eysines from http://eatingtheworld.wordpress.com/2008/11/12/ftc-galeux-d-eysines/
The warts come from all the sugar that migrate to under the skin as the squash ripens.
