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?

  4. so 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!

  6. Our tomatoes are growing out of control too. In fact, we munched on some last evening, with a handful of sweet basil.
    Huzzah for Summer!

  9. I'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 :(

  10. No 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!

  16. I 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.
