Back from plot
We had strange weather in plot. It’s summer but it was like winter for 3 days. So much rain and cold the nights. It was good for earth because we can’t watering the trees and plants so often. Our big water tower is full now.

The soil was soft and we digging large areas when rain stops for my seedlings. The next 2 days were hot without rain and we start the weed war. This moment my skin is red and weather-beaten. Tomorrow morning I must buy Bepanthen from pharmacy.

My tomato and pepper plants were alive but not so big yet. This green sweet pepper must be red in July. The peppers are 5 plants, 2 of them are green peppers, the other 2 sweet red and finaly the last one is hot pepper.

I have 12 tomato plants but 2 of them make small tomatoes (I don’t know the english name this moment). These 2 plants had some tiny tomatoes and I harvest my first small beautiful red tomato.

I can’t eat this first tomato yet because I’m smiling when I watch it.
I also paint one window baluster (I’m not sure for the word) and some other metal things which had rust. Finally, the last day I swam for the first time this year in a beautiful calm blue sea. It was so peaceful in the beach because it was weekday. The beach in weekends is like hell for me.



In the UK we call the small varieties of tomatoes “cherry tomatoes” as they are similar in size to cherries the fruit. They are my favourite kind because they are usually very sweet.
Thank you easygardener! Maybe it’s good idea for me to make one small greek-english lexicon for vegetables and gardening terminology
It is lovely to read what you are doing in Greece where your climate would be similar to mine in South Australia, but for you it is now summer and for me it is winter.
@Kate this is good! You know, when I was kid, It was always strange to me that you have winter in June and summer in Christmas. I love this world!
Here in the US we call the small tomato varieties either cherry or grape. Your garden looks wonderful! Wish you much luck and a great harvest.
