Cherry tomatoes for breakfast

We had a chore downtown this morning which allowed us to walk by our plot on the way in to work.  There is a stark contrast between our plot and everyone else's now.  I guess that we were early clearing it out (but really, we could stand no more zucchinis).  We scooped up a couple of little yellow plum tomatoes and chomped them down.   There really is nothing like a tomato straight off the vine.  Not a bad way to start the day, really.

We ate some more potatoes last night.  They're strangely dry.  They're not like the ones we grew last year (not surprisingly, since they're a different species).  I think that next year, if we have a choice, we will plant yukon golds again.  These ones will probably make great mashed potatoes and they'll definitely be delicious for french potato salad (if I ever get around to it) but they're not great for straight-up eating and if we're going to grow our own, I think straight-up eating should be a priority.  We can get good bakers at the shops.
