First big batch of tomatoes

by lcreekmo on July 8, 2007

Woo hoo! The garden has just proven its worth. I was convinced when we left town July 2 that we’d return to several rotten tomatoes. A couple of these large ones perhaps could have been picked Friday instead of Saturday night, but all are more than edible.

Understatement of the year from the 8yo: These are so much better than what we get at the store.

We had another of the ginormous ones for dinner — it was almost more than the Hungry Toddler [a well known tomato fiend], the 8yo and I could eat together.

Bridgett, I got mine at Marianna’s Heirloom Seeds, which you can find on the web. Of course, it’s just a short country drive for me to pick them up.
