Tomatoes!

[lilacsigil]

While I am not a fan of summer - though I have recovered from that 42C/107F day - the fruit and veg are at their absolute best. We've been eating strawberries, avocado, mango, peaches, snowpeas, beans...all the good stuff! Our garden is slowly producing, too. There's buckets of basil, sage and mint, tentative parsley and now some tomatoes. The bigger tomatoes are still bright green, but the grape-sized ones are coming along nicely. Some of them.

Sounds amazing! I really should try to grow some basil, at least, since I love it so.

We have ours in a shallow pot in an area with partial sunlight and it grows very well - direct sunlight is a bit much for it on the very hot days.

*am jealous*

We're having this awful half-winter where it sometimes snows and sometimes rains and the roads are slippery and we're all longing for a spring that maybe comes in a few months.

I hope you dream of fresh tomatoes tonight!

Thank you! Enjoy yours!

I am SO waiting to be able to get our garden going again with very little patience. To the point of considering container gardening in April in order to get a head start. (Yes, I have to wait until MAY if I want to be certain of no frost. Crazy state.)

Wow, that's late! We only get 3-4 frosts a year in June/July, but we have torrential rain throughout spring so we're usually putting in seedlings in early November. It's just too wet before that.

This has made me want to get my garden sorted out for this coming year again!
