Tomatoes galore. Caprese salad every day. Tomato sandwiches. Salted tomato slices for snack. We're starting to take on a slightly pinkish hue from eating all of these tomatoes.
I find myself rearranging the tomato bowl every day, bringing the ripe ones to the top.
Your zucchinis didn't fruit because they didn't get pollinated!! You could learn how to hand pollinate but it seems to me a SURE SIGN that you should take up beekeeping.
