Spring and summer have been off to slow start where we are but that is not deterring our tomatoes! We’ve got lots of tomatoes coming in and ripening quickly. Beside the few pictured here we also have Brandy Wine and Amish Mom tomatoes coming right along.
Here are our grape tomatoes. There are so many more in the upper vines just waiting for a few more sunny days.
Idigo Rose tomatoes… This one still kind of freaks me out a little. Tomatoes are in the Nightshade family and the poisonous version sports little tomato like fruits that start green, go red and then black. I’m sure these will be delicious once I get over the life threatening part.
Yellow pear tomatoes still growing. When they are ripe they will be a lovely yellow color. There have been a few that we’ve tasted already but the flesh is a bit mealy. No complaints here though and the kids don’t seem to care.
And last but certainly not least, green zebra tomatoes. Subconsciously I’ve been waiting for these guys to get red and then I read their name again. They are supposed to be green! I pulled gently on some that looked ‘done’ and they fell into my hand so we can put them into the rotation of harvest.
That’s what is going on in our garden right now. What are you harvesting in your garden?
I want to expand my veggie garden so I am always looking for more info, tips, pictures, anything that gives me insight on how to be more successful and more productive…Your information is really appreciated.
Hey Charlie! Thanks for hanging out with us. We are talking about hand pollinating pumpkins later this week so stay tuned for that. What are you growing this year?
