The first of our Green Zebra tomatoes is ready! They're usually later than the rest of the tomatoes, but they're tangy and delicious. We ate it in a cucumber and tomato salad.

While I am not a fan of summer - though I have recovered from that 42C/107F day - the fruit and veg are at their absolute best. We've been eating strawberries, avocado, mango, peaches, snowpeas, beans...all the good stuff! Our garden is slowly producing, too. There's buckets of basil, sage and mint, tentative parsley and now some tomatoes. The bigger tomatoes are still bright green, but the grape-sized ones are coming along nicely. Some of them.
