Tomato Time!

 Mostly, Trish and I grow just flowers in our yard.  But, one thing, beyond flowers, we can’t so without: tomatoes!


For the past weeks our plants have been rewarding us with abundance!

We grow several varieties, both determinate and indeterminate, to keep the season starting early and then lasting over a long time.

The Early Girls and producing multitudes of pound sized fruit; perfect for Caprese salads with fresh mozzarella! A lunch time treat.


The Big Boys are even larger: just the right size for a single slice to more than cover the bread for a great sandwich.  We are also having a wonderful crop of Cherokee Purples, so sweet and tasty.



Then, there are the little babies, about half dozen varieties and colors here.  They make a great snack to just pop in your mouth. Each variety has a different flavor that makes them so interesting.


Not counting these little ones, it looks like we will be picking about two dozen today!  What delicious fun.

SUMMER AT HOME

 Except for one week, we have been at home on the Island since May 19.  This has enabled us to grow lots of vegetables and flowers this year...
