1. So envious of that primo pomodoro.

Lots of little greenies here, but nothing near to eating stage.

Buon appetito!

2. Wow, nice for a first tomato.

My first ones this year will be 4th of July from Burpee, but they won't be ready by the 4th of July, probably about 2 weeks later.

3. Oh man, it sucks to be watching people in the south

bragging about their first tomato already!!!!! I know, I'm just jealous. It looks sooooooooo good.

4. well, we didn't eat it tonight - needed one more day on the shelf!

tomorrow - and I will be sure to post pics of the slices!



I know - we lived in New Hampshire and PA in our past and gardened there and understand the whole waiting and watching thing!

5. My first round of tomatoes is almost over. With our drought and

100+ degree heat, they're not going to be setting anymore. I'm still getting up at 5AM to water my garden every day, but all the plants are wilted by nightfall. I still have a few cherry tomatoes on their vine and a couple of green Romas.

6. I got my first cherry tomato (sungold) yesterday and I will have at least 3 full sized tomatoes ....

.... by the 4th. I am growing Bradley for the first time and it is doing very well. Do you know
anything about it?





Cherokee Purple, Mortgage Lifter, Old German, Black Krim, Marglobe, and pink Brandywine are the
others I am growing this year.

7. That first one is always special.

We consider it a good tomato year if we harvest at least one tomato by July 1st. It looks like we should have one or two Taxis and several Sweet 100s by Friday.

8. I'm still about a week away from my first.

I've not been real adventurous with tomato varieties, sticking with Sweet 100's, Celebrity, Romas & Better Boys. The Sweet 100's are going to be ripe first. The problem remains, will they actually make it into the house this year (don't 'cha just love garden grazing?).

I did have my first Guta (Armenian Cucumber) yesterday and I've been harvesting zuccini, yellow squash and peppers for the last month or so.

Congrats on your first tomato. It looks like a good 'un.
