But nothing tastes as good as a fresh tomato from the garden. Wish us luck, and happy harvesting.DialogueA: Parece que a sua horta tá indo bem. Tá uma beleza!
B: Obrigado, eu plantei a ervilha um pouco tarde este ano, mas o feijão está ótimo.
A: É, a ervilha pode ser mais complicado, principalmente porque aqui faz tanto calor.
B: E os meus tomates e abóboras começaram bem.
A: Eu desisti dos tomates, os esquilos e os insetos comem eles o tempo todo.

A: Que esperto, todos crescem no subsolo. Você com certeza tem dedo verde.A: Looks like your vegetable garden is taking off! Looks great.
