July 26 - Mortgage Lifters

I've never planted Mortgage Lifters before. They have a little unusual color, being a little darker on top than others. But by golly, these things are huge! And there are twice this many in the garden needing to be picked. Guess I'll do some canning later on today.

My yellow tomators are doing well, too. The picture with the plants shows the yellow ones in the foreground and the morgage lifeters in the back.

My rich black dirt combined with lots of lime and the black plastic to keep moisture in the soil has surely paid off. Check out this melon - I've already picked 7. They're very sweet.
