Mid August More Tomatoes

Well, this blog is PNW Tomatoes - so here we go ...... more of the lovlies

Berkeley Tie-Dye, Red (seed saving begins)

and two from the Dwarf Project:  Sweet Scarlet Dwarf, and the yellow Summer Sweet Gold (delicious)

August 9 Lots of Ripe Tomatoes!

Early August and I have more ripe tomatoes that I can eat - yipee!!

First, a view of the back yard container tomatoes - somewhat thread bare, but they are supplying ripe tomatoes


then a closer look a the plant on the left - this is my PPP x PP 'B' F4 "E" - early with lovely rich flavour, one of the healthier plants, and likely the one I will move ahead with in my stabilization efforts ...... also lots of Black Krim Cherry (not yet stable, this was a pink, but lovely flavour) third plant from the left, and taking over its neighbour as well
 

a few more harvest pics - from 12 noon:  Paul Robeson, Dragon's Eye (round), Black Krim Cherry, Dragon's Eye (heart) and PPP x PP 'B' F4 "E"

and two pics from front container garden - Maglia Rosa - work horse of a tomato and lovely for munching and 0-33 still on the plant - early, but flavour is not my favourite

July 18 Colour in the Garden

The veggie harvest continues ..... green bush beans, Petit Marseillais sweet pepper, cucumber and tomato - Berkeley Tie-Dye, Red



and more colour from Plot 5 - red leaf lettuce going to seed (will plant much less and stagger next year), red heirloom torpedo onions (Rossa Lunga di Firenze from Renee's Garden) and Vista Minnie dahlia purchased at Van Dusen Dahlia sale

 

July 11 Ripe Tomatoes and Plot 5 revisited

Record summer for sunshine, and here are some of the first ripe tomatoes - this has to be a first for me - never had a first ripe before July 15 - and that was a Sweet 100 many years ago

Paul Robeson (larger) and Black Prince (smaller); Black Prince was grown from purchased plant


and a quick look at Plot 5 - beans, lettuce, dahlias, cucumbers, garlic chives, alyssum (great mulch and bee plant) ....


have a look at this beautiful red lettuce, going to seed; came in a purchased baby lettuce mix and Sweet Scarlet Dwarf tomato, doing well in Plot 5 - can you spot the large tomato hiding in the foliage

July 8 More Container Tomatoes

Another view of my back garden container tomatoes, one week of growth, tomatoes are becoming more visible, with good fruit set on all varieties although plants themselves are now starting to look a little tired and low on nutrients, always seems to happen with fruit set

and again, the front container tomatoes

 

with a focus on two tomatoes from the Dwarf Tomato Project http://nctomatoman.weebly.com/dwarf-tomato-project.html:

Sweet Scarlet Dwarf, potato leaf, red  - the plant and fruit
