Its a very exciting week. School’s out, summer starts soon, the town pool is open, AND I have purple peas and baby tomatoes in my garden! It can’t get much better than this. I can almost taste a fresh garden tomato ….. This tomato is a Rutgers. There are also baby fruit on my Chadwick’s cherry.

Last year I found my first baby tomato on June 22. So this year’s is almost exactly the same date. Even though I bought bigger plants that bloomed much earlier this year, the plants did not set fruit until the same time as last year. HHmmmm.

Solanum lycopersicum
