Sigh. No longer have garden space so getting mine from the market.

I’ve got a stunted wierdo tomato plant next to a lush healthy fruit-producing one as well. Who knows. I’m growing an hierloom beefsteak, purple cherokee and hillbilly – our new fave. Not sure which is which, colors should be developing in the next week or two. Your blog is gorgeous. You didn’t reveal your big news though, did you? I have a guess…

Oh, RED tomatoes! Mine are still tiny and green. Tiny as in I only know they are there because I do some kind of yoga twist to see up under the little cap. But it’s been rainy upon rainy here in Maine, and I am happy to see any color tomato at this point.

The tomatoes are rolling in early for me too… I can’t keep up!

YUM! It’s tomato time! Yours look fantastic – I can’t wait to hear what they taste like. I’ve been having wonderful luck with ‘Stupice’ – it started ripening about 3 weeks ago and what few tomatoes I can save from the rampaging hordes of veg-eating varmints are delicious!
‘Juliet’ is another one of my favorite early tomatoes – I’m a sucker for medium sized, cluster tomatoes. And She keeps pumping out the yummy fruits well into the fall! Of course, that’s here in LA. I guess Vancouver is bound to be a bit different, right?

have you planned how you are going to eat them? Tomato sandwich? Caprese salad? Right off the vine with some salt? Mmmmmm… any way – delicious!
XOXO!

Awesome :-) This year seems to be a good season for tomatoes. Mine are four to five feet tall and heavy with fruit and the cherry toms are ripening one by one! Husband and I ate a few straight off the vine these last few days. But that’s what heat waves plus some rainshowers will do for you in BC.

beautiful!
my tomatoes surprised me this year, especially since i’ve never grown these two; the supposed ‘early’ one called oregon spring has been preceded by black krim, which is big, productive and ‘suppose’ to be late. i even have a couple of these plants together in same pot. hmmmm…strange beasts, both topped out at 4 feet and bloom at same time.

Beautiful!

All my toms are still green, but I *am* on the other side of the pond, so not sure if that makes a difference…
