Veggies Week 18 and Caprese Salad with Cucumbers

I forgot to take a picture of the whole garden, but that's what I pulled out! We have SO many tomatoes! Only the smaller ones are ripe so far, but there are green tomatoes all over. The little black cherries are absolutely amazing, and all the others are delish too. Tart and sweet and acidic...yum! We had to do a lot of work staking the cages and tying string around to make sure the tomatoes were supported. (Some of them were lilting or even falling over after all the rain last week - too heavy with all those tomatoes!)
We also had the most delicious salad, sort of like a caprese. Sliced tomatoes, really thinly sliced fresh cucumber, lots of chopped basil, thinly sliced mozzarella, salt, balsamic, and olive oil. It's so great! I'd never had cucumbers in that combination, but they add an extra freshness and crunch. We ate it two days in a row. I love summer!
