The First Tomatoes Two Sun gold and one Tami G, these were green yesterday. Yesterday’s tomato pictures were taken in the late afternoon. After taking those shots, I thought it would be at least another week before we had a ripe tomato. And, today, we have three. They’re […]

Out of this mix of black cherry, black plums, Sun Gold cherry, Juliet’s, Tami G’s, and Super Sweet 100 tomatoes. The Super Sweet 100’s and the Tami G’s find their way into my recipes. The Sun […] |
