Other harvests this week: basil. Picked on a rainy Saturday, chopped with olive oil and frozen in my new Seal a Meal.
Peppers were picked for hot pepper jelly: green, cubanelle, and jalapenos.
Zucchini has been on the menu every night but last night. We ate it all and I also made a zucchini lasagna to freeze.
Other harvests: cucumbers on multiple days (one pictured above) and beans at least once.
And I almost forgot. I also harvested this unknown. Is it a squash? I think there's a bug in its stem because particles are coming out that way. I'll open it soon to discover what it is, I hope.

beautiful harvest but too bad about damage to tomatoes. Can't wait to see what your unknown fruit is :)
I'm not sure what causes them, but I've got a few this year too.
We've given up on growing slicing tomatoes, too much disease from all of the humidity here. Poor tomatoes... but lovely harvest otherwise! Have been considering getting a vacuum packer...
I have had a couple of the Black from Tula tomatoes with odd small holes like that. It was like something took a bite when it was green and the tomato calloused over it. Don't know what causes it. Yours looks larger tho, so maybe birds or grasshoppers? or even rats, mice or squirrels
Marci sorry about your tomato attack. It looks like tomato fruit worms aka corn earworm.
I'm a bit nervous about opening it up. It probably has a squash borer in the stem and who knows what inside.
I got the seal a meal at the local Ace hardware store. It works great. Don't know why I put off getting it for so long.
I'll have to google what those are.
I feel for you about those tomatoes - so frustrating. Basil and peppers are looking great though!
Sorry about the tomatoes! I wish I could help but we don't have many pest that bug our tomatoes around here. Try looking up tomato horn worms and see what kind of damage they cause.
I don't think it's hornworms. I did have two of those and they eat the leaves. I drowned them and haven't seen anymore. I'm wondering if its stink bug damage.
I'm sorry that something is eating your gorgeous tomatoes... My father-in-law has the same problem with his this year... Not sure what it is.. Hope you find out soon... Do you spray????
Looks like you have some other great veggies though... YUM...
Hugs,
Betsy
Not sure what's nibbling on your tomatoes but I hope you find whatever it is!
Love the simple idea of chopping up basil, adding a bit of olive oil and freezing it up! Wonderful!
