First Tomatos

We have started picking our first peppers and tomatoes of the season.  We have several varieties of each planted, all of which we raised from seed.  (See March 17 blog)

I am particularly excited about our first fresh tomatoes.  Once a person has tasted a fresh tomato from the garden, they will never be happy with store-bought tomatoes again. 

As I said we have several varieties.  Early Girl, Rutgers, Cherokee Purple, Roma, Juliet, Large Red Cherry and Sweet 100s to name some of them.  I can't say that I have a favorite.  They all taste wonderful!

Here is a picture of some that Tom harvested today.


And there are more where these came from.  Here's a picture of some tomato vines we planted in our cold frame after we pulled all the lettuce out of it:
