...Just a quick update on the tomatoes...
...theyr'e doing nicely (for ND) - I keep saying that I'm going to make some fried green tomatoes (love those) and the Man keeps telling me to wait until they ripen - that I should only make fried green tomatoes in September right before the frost - at this rate we may only get green tomatoes - Ha!...
...the little row of beets in front of the tomatoes is doing nicely too...

My tomatoes came to nothing! Then, I noticed in one of the veg beds a host of baby tomato plants - very sturdy and healthy.
They must have come from the compost where remains of imported, delicate tomatoes were chucked!
My lovely Aunty Margaret lived on a large water board estate where there was a large cess pit. One year she and my cousin went and picked pounds of green tomatoes and made chutney.
Quite a different source!
wow, my tomatoes are about finished for the year! no new little ones are growing...the little flowers are going un-pollinated. somehow nature knows fall is approaching! hope yours ripen in time!
love, k
My tomatoes hate me. We had the worst spring and then we have only had a nice summer for the past month. I do see a few flowers so maybe I will have a late harvest? Here's hoping. I love tomatoes.
The plants look healthy. Can you share your fried green tomato recipe?
I've never had fried green tomatoes, but they always look so yummy!
Our tomatoes will never get ripe, I keep frying the green ones and don't apologize for it -smile-. Those fried green tomatoes have been stupendous!
Your plants llok happy and robust!
The ripening part is always tricky :)
I think I'll need it to stay sunny until Xmas to see a watermelon. It's 65 degrees this morning (it will be 85 by noon)...so it doesn't bode well for my melon crop!
Mine are just now turning red. I was beginning to wonder if they'd ever cross over!
