Little thingies that look suspiciously like buds on one of the tomato plants. I'm pretty sure it's the Tobolsk, but we're in early August and I'm not inclined to be too picky. I'll be happy to get a couple of tomatoes out of this venture, regardless of color.

I may plant some peppers next year, along with tomatoes. I really like those orange bell peppers, and can only imagine what a good homegrown pepper tastes like.

I guess now would be a bad time to say I ate my first garden tomato last week. ;-)

It was an early bloomer - several green ones on that vine but nothing even turning yet.

I got started about 2 months too late. I will not make that mistake next spring. I will make other mistakes.

I just bought and consumed a small tub of heirloom tomatoes. I love the funny-color ones. Last week I had a couple of champagne tomatoes--about an inch across, bright orange, and sweet in that perfect tomato way.

Recipe: tiny tomatoes cut in half, olive oil, salt, chopped fresh basil (dried will do, too). For extra protein I crumble in some feta (and omit some salt, then).
