Up until this week, it has been unusually hot here in Seattle. Temperatures were in the 90's, with the hottest temperature reaching 103 (the highest temp EVER recorded in Seattle). But what was blistering for us humans was perfect for the tomato plants we have in my back yard. They went crazy! After months of forming green, round teasers, they finally started changing to a beautiful red over the past few days...
We have a variety of tomtoms in the garden, but the ones that seem to be doing the best so far are the romas and cherry types. Here are the romas...
And a few cherries...
We picked our first batch a couple days ago for a salad, and they were succulent... We are awaiting the avalanche of ripening tomotoes with eager anticipation. We know that won't be disappointed.
(Updated: We made a Caprese salad today with some of our home grown basil and tomatoes. Very tasty.)
