THE FIRST HARVEST
The tomatoes are growing like crazy and doing better at this time than any of our previous years. Ben attributes it to the special concoction he put in when they were planted. We finally picked our first harvest and this is the first time ever we had any to pick in June. And boy are they good! Out of this first harvest, the snow white variety was my fave. It was so sweet. Sweeter than any tomato I have ever had. Get ready for all the tomato show and telling that will be happening this summer. I have a feeling there will be a lot.
What's your favorite type of tomato?

ReplyDeleteis it weird that i won't eat a large regular tomato. but love the small cherry tomatoes.?!!
ReplyDeleteI totally have to try a tomato of every kind. They look really tasty
ReplyDeleteso pretty!! It is so fun to try all the different kinds. How do you tell when the green zebras are ready? I have some of those for the first time this year, and I'm afraid they're going to go bad because I won't be able to tell when they are ripe!
ReplyDeleteLooks so cute!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to have my own tomatoes too!!!
ReplyDeleteOur tomatoes are growing out of control too. In fact, we munched on some last evening, with a handful of sweet basil.
ReplyDeleteHuzzah for Summer!
Yummie! :-)
ReplyDeletehow cool! love your garden! love eating tomatoes, too! with basil & a vinaigrette dressing.
ReplyDeletewow! they grew pretty fast. too bad i can't grow any in fog city. hah! one day though. one day.
ReplyDeleteI'm having total garden envy right now, those look so good!! It is a really late summer up here in WA and even our little container garden isn't growing much :(
ReplyDeleteNo question, green zebra rocks my world. They have a little zing that makes me eat them like apples! So envious of your great garden... Our 9th floor apartment 90 miles from the equator is not a great tomato growing zone!
ReplyDeleteI love this post! We recently got our first homegrown tomato and we're super excited about it! I hope your garden continues to flourish!

all tomatoes are my favorites- but I love the looks of those sun golds. happy gardening & happy 4th!
ReplyDeleteHands down, san marzano. best tomato for sauces and slicing for eating with fresh mozzarella and basil. yum.
ReplyDeleteOh my! I've never heard of snow white tomatoes and I am a SERIOUS tomato lover. This is both exciting and depressing, all at once. I MUST TRY ONE SOON!
ReplyDeleteYay! Gorgeous photos. I have my very first garden this summer and I'm msot anxious for the tomatoes.. Hoping they do well! I've started a compost pile to use for next year.
ReplyDeleteI am dying at how lovely these tomatoes (and your blog!) are. Such great photos. I don't normally eat tomatoes, but I love to grow 'em.
ReplyDeleteShared these photos in my roundup today because they're so pretty!
