Hey, congrats! I think it's cool to grow your own vegetables. I have a Black Thumb, so i've always envied those that can actually grow food. Good job. :)

Yea mine are starting to ripen up as well. I've been harvesting squash and zucchini out of my garden for a couple of weeks now.

A guy has been bringing in a box full of home grown cherry tomatos daily at work, boy they are great to snack on.

Mine were starting to ripen, and I was even able to eat a few, but because of water problems, the town restricted water and now they're all dead because I couldn't water the garden. :(

I live in VA. I don't know if it's drought so much as it is poor planning on the town's part. Either way, the water here smells so bad sometimes I think I smell better before I get into then shower than after I get out (smells kind of like sulfur). A few people have raised a stink about the stink, but nothing has ever been done about it. The town is either ignoring it or taking a "I wasn't aware of the problem." stance.

I'm getting really tired of it.
