A LOOK AT MY 3 TYPES OF TOMATOES

 I TOOK A FEW PHOTOS OF MY TOMATO VARIETIES, THOUGH STILL GREEN, LOOKING VERY GOOD.

EARLY GIRL IS A SLICER.  THESE ARE LOOKING FINE.  I HOPE TO SHARE THEM FRESH WITH MY NEIGHBORS HERE IN MY APARTMENT BUILDING WHEN THEY RIPEN.

HUSKY CHERRIES ARE ABUNDANT ON THE VINES BUT STILL GREEN.

MY THIRD CHOICE FOR THIS YEAR ARE PLUM ROMAS.  THEY WILL MAKE FINE ADDITIONS TO CHILI AND MY TOMATO SAUCES AFTER I ROAST AND FREEZE THEM.

THIS WAS TAKEN FROM THE BACKSIDE OF MY SMALL GARDEN BED MEASURING ONLY 4 FEET BY 8 FEET.  THE PLANTS HAVE GROWN TALL AND ARE VERY GREEN.  I AM GETTING A BIT OF BLIGHT AT THE VERY BOTTOMS, BUT NOT MUCH YET.  MY TOMATOES SHOULD BE ABUNDANT BEFORE FALL THIS YEAR.

HAVE A GOOD DAY.

JULY 27TH AND STILL NO RED TOMATOES

 Its July 27th here in southwestern Maine and still no red tomatoes in my garden.  I have lots of green ones coming.

Here are some Early Girl tomatoes.  Getting some good growth but still green.

I have been seeing a bit of early blight and have removed the leaves.  So far it's been manageable.

Here are more green Early Girls growing.

My Husky Cherry and Romas are doing well but smaller and still all green.  It will be nice to see some red ones soon.

I hope you are having a good summer.  Our days lately have been in the 80sF and 70sF in the daytime but drop nicely to the 60sF in the nite.  I love our Maine summer temperatures.  

As for rain, we have been lucky.  I watered my garden this morning for the first time in weeks.  We have been getting enough rain but not too much.

I am thankful so our forests are staying healthy and there is less danger of forest fires.

Have a nice day.
