Dug a little tomato garden:
And put the one month old seedlings in (this was in May)...
And today, here is what we've got:
Tomatoes reaching over the top of my fence!
Tons of little, green marbles :-)
Starting to redden...
And the figs, you ask? Here's the tree two months ago:
And now?
And it's loaded with figs!
Does anyone have ripe, red tomatoes already? Anyone with ripe figs yet? My figs seem particularly slow to ripen (though that may be a factor of the enormous amount of fruit on the tree at one time, and the coolish summer we've had (until now, of course :-).
Stay cool in this heat! Yesterday it was so hot and hazy that all my pics came out with a fog over them. It was 103 yesterday, but this was taken in the evening when it had "cooled" to 100
Today, still very hot but a bit more tolerable at about 92 in the shade this morning.
Have a great week! I'll try to get a food post up soon, I've got lots of stuff to share!

I like your marbles! Although I may start hating you when they turn red. Only kidding. I think. ;)
ReplyDeleteHa! Hopefully they are getting enough sun to ripen properly, that's my only concern...I'll keep you guys posted, of course.
ReplyDeleteUpdate: they seem to be gettin' ripe just fine, though still slow. I ate a few and they are awesome! The waiting is killing me, though.
