Sacramento Community Garden

Lovely hot day in Sacramento today. As promised, this is a post with pictures of our community garden plot. This first shows Maddy nipping out a few basil buds. That's not her drink, and we don't know where it came from...

In the background, you can see the community compost heaps, the rules for which Maddy has resolved to make a nice display of. What to put in, what not to put in etc. In this shot, you can see (near right) a sunflower volunteer, a few eggplants of different varieties (foreground), a tomatillo volunteer (mid left), and the plants on our frame.

This is our 7-8 year old grape vine which we hear doesn't produce. Maddy gave it some fertilizer and we have been pruning it, but advice about how to make it produce grapes would be well appreciated.
This is a picture of one of our black zebra tomatoes that is yet to ripen. Lovely!
