Tomato Time

It's been a good year for growing tomatoes.  Last year's meager crop got an early blight, causing yellow, dying leaves and stems, so the tomatoes had to be picked before they ripened. There's a bumper crop this year, even enough for canning. The Early Girl variety was started from seed in April under the lights indoors and the small plants were put out in the garden the end of May.

There's nothing like picking a ripe, warm and juicy tomato from the vine and eating it right in the garden!
