Finally the late garden pics. Here's everything left growing right now. In front are two massive cauliflower plants. In back are the six tomato vines.

We didn't think the cauliflower would even happen. We thought the zucchini overgrew it, and it wasn't until about six weeks ago that the white cauliflower part appeared in the center of the massive leaves. And now, both are almost ready.

The tomatoes have been great, although a patch was invaded by some sort of spider or something that wound up dwindling down the plum toms a bit. Here's the other enemy of the toms: we've had so much rain that the toms got over-juicy and the skins burst.

We still have about 10 plum toms out there. A large batch was used two weeks ago to make a homemade pasta sauce ("gravy", if you rather, since it included some meat) that could not be beat.
