A garden paying lots of dividends

It's been four months now since I planted the first cool-weather crops in my garden. They're all gone now, except for the lettuce. In their place, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers and beans have been bursting out all over. I picked the stuff below this morning. I'll have it for dinner tonight. Amazing. The best part is the tomatoes. You've never had a tomato until you've had your own tomato so ripe and tender off the vine that you can barely cut it. And we are quickly finding ourselves with more tomatoes than we know what to do with... a good position to be in.
Best of all, it hasn't been much work. All I really do now is pick. The sprinkler system water's the garden. The veggies have crowded out any space weeds could take hold, and except for my nemesis, Slugzilla, I haven't have any real bug problems.
Early on I was concerned that my garden, right next to the sidewalk, would get pilfered by passers-by, but so far, except for four squash blossoms, it has been untouched. (I can understand stealing squash blossoms, since they are delicious stuffed with cheese and fried, and impossible to get at the store.) Even the ripening tomatoes haven't been stolen.
All and all, this has been an astounding success, and a delicious treat for a guy who didn't always like to eat his vegetables.
