Tomatoes almost ready!

For whatever reason our tomatoes have been talking their time this year.  I was happy to see them starting to ripen this week.  Even though ours haven’t been ready, we’ve been getting some good tomatoes in Island Pond, VT at both Teds Market and Kingdom Market.  We’ve also gotten some very good sweet corn in town. However,  we can’t wait to pick our own home grown tomatoes.  They will go very well on my favorite sandwich this summer,  a BLT with cheese on toasted wheat bread.

First Tomato!!!

I finally noticed our first tomato of the season!  We have two varieties,  a cherry tomato and a better boy full sized beefsteak variety. While the cherry tomato plant has blossoms,  it is the larger Better Boy plant has the first fruit on it. I can’t wait until we pick our first ripe tomato!
