Tomatoes (finally)!!
We were beginning to think the tomatoes would never get here! After a check of previous garden years, I discovered it wasn't my imagination (why it's always a good idea to log and/or photograph). Normally, we are enjoying summer tomatoes by mid-late July. So I guess this year isn't that late. But it sure felt like it. For a couple weeks now, I've been enjoying the Sun Gold cherries in small amounts. Soon, I will be swimming in them. After that, the best producers this year are my Oxhearts and Cherokee Purple. I've got quite a few Kellogg's Breakfast on the vines, but nothing turning yet. The main disappointment has been the Big Beef +. The plant is small, about a third the size I'm used to. I've never had a problem with Big Beef. In fact, it's always been the gold standard in my garden. So I suspect it's either a fluke, or there's a soil problem in the spot I grew it in. Every year it's something, I guess. I'm just...
