Picked my first ripe tomato 3 weeks ago. What are you going to do with that potato peeler? Does that work on a tomato?

Holy chit!

That peeler was a handy measure of size for the tomato.

Soon, hopefully.

Tomatoes just starting to ripen, have picked about a dozen so far. Super crop this year, posted some pics in Image Gallery.

Plants are now over 4 feet tall, lots of blooms and a bunch of tomatoes have set on, but have not even started turning white so tomato will be store bought til next week or so around here.
Okra will be kicking in about that same time.

Second batch of heirloom tomatoes are really starting to grow (seed company really goofed me up on this) and will be late producers for sure. Never had tomatoes planted this late so not real sure how this will pan out.

Your BLT looks good!

I've been getting ripe ones for about 3 weeks now. I just ate my 3rd BLT of the week. I like a nice wheat bread and lots of mayo.

Wife has made a bunch Caprese salads, but we've been using Roma tomatoes for it.



I filled another 5 gallon bucket of Roma tomatoes yesterday, I'll be making a BIG batch of sauce tomorrow with them.

In theory 5-6 of the tomato plants I planted were Romas. In reality it appears that 2 of 6 were. Oh well.

Pugs,

With your cooking ability and finesse, even red coloured rocks would turn out delicious....

My tomatoes were over by July 10.

Planted 4 Roma tomato plants, 2 red bell pepper plants and 4 green bell pepper plants on Memorial Day. Abnormal production from them all from what I have been used to in the 18 years we have been here. We harvested the first green bell peppers about 3 weeks ago, made stuffed peppers. Biggest peppers I've ever grown, about 4" diameter and 5" tall and the plants are loaded. First Romas ripened two weeks ago and now they are in full swing. Picked about a dozen and a half the first week they started turning red, last week about 2 1/2 dozen and today went out and picked another 28. Another 36 or so will be turning in the next few days and still setting on more. Biggest Romas I have ever grown as well, many are about 2" dia and 3"+ long.

I've been eating 2 or 3 with at least one meal a day. Had BLTs tonight for supper . . . really like home grown tomatoes.
