T'MATERS!

This year's iteration of our tomato barrel is producing fruit like crazy.

We have two plants in it; a yellow pear tomato and a larger red tomato whose name I can't remember.

These are some of the yellow pear tomatoes.



Yes, I know they're not yellow and that's because they're not ripe yet.

But we have pulled a couple of golden ones so far.

The other vine also has a lot of fruit including one nearly-ripe-enough-to-pick one, trying to hide in the foliage.


Don't tell me about the drooping leaves.

SWMBO already has instructed me on that and after these pictures were taken I got right on it and watered them.

I'll say it again (and again, probably):

"Ain't nothing quite as good as home-grown tomatoes!"

Unless its homegrown runner beans which I steamed for lunch today. Short supply chain -- patio to kitchen to plate.

Water and seaweed fertiliser is working for us.

Love it that you grow your own! I've been buying some great small yellow ones at Costco.

Amen to that!

That red one looks ripe enough to me.
