Yay, More Tomatoes

Finally, my tomatoes are not only blossoming, they are bearing lots of new fruits.

I kept the varieties separated.  In the top bowl are many Lizzanos.  There are some greenies, which I will keep on my counter to ripen later.  When I reach under the plants I can't quite see all the toms so when I pull off some, a few greens come with them.  

The bottom tomatoes are from my tiniest of plants, the Red Robins, and they are larger than the Lizzanos.

Those 2 very small plants along the bottom right with the taller radish greens between them, are Red Robins.  They only grow from 8-12" tall but give lots of fruit.  In the upper right in this photo in two cages are my 2 Lizzano tomatoes.  They have smaller cherry tomatoes than their much tinier Red Robin cousin.

The tomatoes behind the blossoming Nasturtiums are Lizzanos with their very small cherry tomatoes.

I just taste-tested them both and the Red Robins are a little bit sweeter than the Lizzanos.

I watered my garden this morning.  We are expecting low 90sF today which is much too warm for me.  I will be staying indoors reading my Mrs. Pollifax mystery series.

  Luckily I kept my books when I moved.  Yes, I kept some of my favorites and this series is one of them.  The idea is that Mrs. P, a widow living in New Brunswick, New Jersey, at the age of 63, is tired of volunteer work and just raising her geraniums and wants something more in life.  Her doctor advises she do something she really always wanted to do.  Well, when she things about it, she always wanted to be a spy when she was a kid.  With that in mind, she heads for the CIA offices in Washington D.C. and by a twist of fate, is chosen for a courier job.  The woman they expected was late for her appointment and Mrs. P happened to be their office when they entered so they thought it was their assigned courier.  She gets into the strangest problems in her new career.  There is excitement and a bit of romance here and there and some comic bits.  It all makes for great reading.  Since its been some years since I read these books (I have 8 of the 9 she wrote), all the plots are unexpected since I do not remember all the facts.

Yup. I will continue reading on this hot day, indoors with my a/c going and some Ginger ale floats to keep me compnay.

Enjoy your gardens.
