The Tomatoes Are Coming! The Tomatoes Are Coming!
Friday, May 30th, 2008
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.
