My garden is beautiful

What color are your tomatoes? This is not a twist on the job hunting book but a real question. Before I embarked on this adventure to grow a garden my tomatoes were red, only red. That's because they came from the grocery store where only ripe fruit and usually a limited variety are available.

Now 450 tomatoes and 28 pounds later, I now have a new view on tomato colors. Not only are there a wide variety of colors, color can be telling of the ripeness, the health and variety of the tomato.

The variety makes for a beautiful array of colors. Add in orange, red and green bell peppers and a finally healthy eggplant and you engage the full beauty of the garden. I know that my perception is a narrow one that only I could appreciate. Even without this finite appreciation photos can do well to illustrate my views.
