Our kitchen is full of tomatoes right now, and I hope it continues for a long time. We're busy canning, freezing and drying them – and eating them, too.
Look at this weird plant that popped up in the garden.
Google says it's snow-on-the-mountain or ghost spurge (Euphorbia marginata) and toxic, though attractive. No idea where it came from. The milky sap is irritating to the skin and can even be used to brand cattle. The pods explode and send seeds several feet, so we'll be removing it before that happens, since we have no cows to brand. (Cattle-owning club members, let me know if you want some seeds.)
Here are some random pics of our rather dry garden.
