More harvesting

Today I went out and harvest tomatoes (4 varieties), green beans, banana peppers.

I also found our first cayenne pepper and a cantaloupe.

The heat has forced me into working in the evenings when the mosquitos are out, thus limiting my time in the garden.  I desperately need to cut back the tomatoes.  They are getting quite overgrown.  I didn't realize that not everyone cut back their tomatoes, but I find they are easier to manage, have less pests and give more fruit that ripens quicker if you cut back the suckers periodically.  Just be sure to cut at the V of stem and try not to cut ones with blossoms already started.

I've made 2 fish emulsion feedings of the garden, but I'm ate on the third.  I'm considering using a different product (that is still organic) Vegetables Alive.
