The Tomatoes Are Coming! The Tomatoes Are Coming!
I’ve harvested four big red fatties so far, from two different plants. Only one of the eight tomato plants I put in the ground in March failed to flower. The others are looking good and healthy. If production keeps up, it’s going to be a bountiful summer. Mmmmm, salsa. Mmmmm, fresh marinara. Mmmmm, tomato sandwiches (Recipe: toast, fat tomato slices, a liberal spread of Vegenaise, a dash of Jane’s Krazy Mixed-Up Salt, and some fresh basil leaves.) What more do we need? Perhaps a couple eggs (check), maybe a few cucumbers (on their way), some peppers (picked one yesterday), and an eggplant or two (not looking great, but not dead either). All from my backyard.
