My First Tomatoes!



I love gardening. Putting a meal on the table that features vegetables from my garden is immensely satisfying. My peppers are doing well. It won’t be long before they start to turn. Red peppers are a nice touch to any salad. I love the peppers and the beans, but it’s the tomatoes are my favorite. I have baby tomatoes on several plants, but it will be a few more weeks before they start to turn.

I’m not a patient person. I don’t want to wait until the middle of June for fresh tomatoes. That’s one reason why I always plant a few cherry tomato plants. The tiny tomatoes start ripening long before the regular tomatoes. I picked my first cherry tomato yesterday. Obviously there wasn’t enough to share…so I ate it myself.

Are you a gardener? I know space and time are factors for most people, but a little Kitchen Garden is a nice compromise. They’re smaller than the typical garden but with a little planning, they will produce a lot of vegetables. My garden is so small that it doesn’t even qualify as a kitchen garden. There are pepper plants in with my irises and a row of beans wrapped around my azalea bushes. And then there are the tomatoes…..

Have a good day,
