Because of the unusually cold and wet spring it was not until the end of May that I got my tomato plants into the ground. In the month since it has warmed up and the little fledglings are doing quite well. I plant one bush of cherry tomatoes to satisfy our cravings while waiting for the full size versions to develop and ripen.
I have installed cages and stakes to support the big plants and this morning I noticed that they have begun to bear fruit. Soon we will be enjoying sliced tomatoes at the dinner table, in salads, finely diced in tacos and fajitas, Bacon-Lettuce-Tomato sandwiches, and of course straight off the vine with a dash sea salt. I also like to bag a few of the cherries and carry them in my lunch box for a little homegrown snack on the go.

Nice tomatoes. Also, I love gaillardia.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chafed,
ReplyDeleteI like my tomatoes in with the perennials. It makes the garden space much more interesting and prettier to look at through the season.
