Tomatoes – the taste of summer
While some fellow garden bloggers report turning over portions of their vegetable beds for cutting gardens, this year I have given up a little space normally used for flowers and dedicated it to tomatoes. I lost track of which plant is which, but I grew one each of:
Husky Cherry Red Tomato -Bonnie, indeterminate
Homestead Heirloom Tomato -determinate
Grape (Tami G) Tomato – indeterminate, 5 to 9 feet tall
Tomatoes
The last few times I grew tomatoes I joked they were the most expensive ones I had ever eaten, but these have been tasty and productive. Yum!
There also is a volunteer tomato plant in the meditation circle that is keeping up with its cohorts in every way.
Tomatoes
Delicious enjoy
Thanks. D. won’t eat them. Hope you had a nice birthday!
Well that means you can enjoy them all yourself!
What a beautiful crop.
Thanks. Gives me courage to try other edibles.
Scrumptious. What time is lunch?
What I’d love are those Big Boys sliced up for tomato sandwiches. That one didn’t produce anything (yet).
Yummy! I had some of my Mum’s homegrown while in the UK. Enjoy your bounty!
Sounds like such a nice treat Cathy. Imagine your mother was thrilled to have you home for a visit.
Yum indeed! You did well, Susie. My attempts to grow tomatoes have all been semi-flops.
So I’m not the only one? I’m always hearing how easy it is to grow tomatoes but I’ve not found it so. You may want to try again though–they’re delicious when homegrown.
Yum! It has been a good year for tomatoes in my garden, too. I’m not sure why–maybe consistent rainfall and warm weather. Plus, our neighbors lost a huge Oak tree, which seems to be letting a little more sun into my west-side garden. Your photos are beautiful, too.
Enjoy your harvest!
Thanks you. Glad your tomatoes are doing well Beth! Definitely need that sunshine for tomatoes.
Your photos look yummy – enjoy!
Thanks Eliza, those pictures don’t lie. The tomatoes are yummy.
Wonderful crop, do you make chutney?
Brian, I made mango chutney once, but not tomato. Sounds delicious but I think gazpacho is our future.
nothing like a vine-ripened tomato plucked fresh from the vine. yes, expensive, and worth every penny.
Yes, I pretty much agree. Something about those tomatoes fresh off the vine…
My six tomato plants are starting to sing their swan song, but we have enjoyed every one of those fresh tomatoes. They will be missed. 🙂
It’s sad to say goodbye to tomatoes for another season. Mine took a long time to start ripening so I am hoping to postpone our parting for a while.
Tasty and so colourful!
