Ever more tomatoey goodness

[semperfiona]

An entire 1.5-quart bowl of grape tomatoes today, from the prolific plant in the back yard. This is partially because I hadn't harvested them since last Thursday or so, but still, it's an impressive amount. And there are still lots and lots of orange not-quite-ripe ones, green ones, and even flowers. I hope the first hard frost holds off a good while yet; they're such wonderful bursts of happiness.

Oooh, I'm envious. Although I suppose I shouldn't be too upset - I've got a full basket of tomatoes from my mum's garden sitting in the kitchen.

I think I know what I'm having with dinner. Mmmmmmm.

Mmmm indeed. If you're still in that house next summer you should see if the owners will let you have a couple square feet of garden and plant a tomato plant.

I doubt we'll still be here next summer, and even if we are, I think that our landpeople have the backyard pretty extensively planned out.

But apparently tomatoes do reasonably well in pots, so if we're in a place with a balcony/porch/outside-space (I'm really hoping not to be in another basement) we'll be able to grow a few plants.

Also, I'd love to have fresh herbs.
