Hey Mom, I might just like tomatoes after all...
It has taken me a long time, and even now sometimes I can't eat them.
But when they are straight from the garden it is hard to resist.
I keep getting told not to pick them so early, but look at that color.
I mean, how can I help it.
(these are "early girls". We have 3 other plants of different varieties in the garden , but these seem to match their name quite well and are the only ones producing and getting ripe so far.)
We planted Early Girl too - ours are not so early though - they are blooming now...
ReplyDeletei've got itty bitty greenies on the tomatoes but that's it. next year, i might need to get something a wee bit earlier.
ReplyDeleteWe got this plant at Raley's with fruit on it already back in june. I think that helped it along. The little ones that we got from the nursery are taking waaay longer and the 'heirlooms' only have flowers, I am wondering if we are going to see anything out of them or not in the next few months!
ReplyDeleteHi Nessie,
ReplyDeleteAte my first home grown tomatoe this evening--a teeny tiny but it was home grown and fresh! I'll have a lot in a week or so.
My Early Girls are big and green and hopefully will turn soon---then I'm in tomatoe heaven---

(Is there an "e" at the end of tomatoe, tomato?)
