Solid cube of green, oh, and my first red tomato

Hiding in the solid cube of green leaves is... a RED tomato! We have been waiting for this moment for a long time: our first home-grown tomato. This matured tomato is a New Big Dwarf. I'll pick it in a few days.

The opo gourd is taking over the garden. It looks like it is multiplying itself every 2 days. It is so heavy now that my little bamboo pergola cannot support it. It is also choking the tomatoes as it grows around the tomato, blocking the sun-lights and wrapping its vines around the tomato leaves. I wonder if I should prune the opo gourd a bit?

oh, the deck is done. I'm building a pergola tomorrow and more pictures will follow.
