It is hard for our northern gardening friends to imagine losing our tomatoes so early when theirs are just getting going. Reading that article made me feel like my tomato situation isn't so bad after all. The volunteer plants that came up are loaded with black cherry tomatoes... fabulous for salads. I didn't plant a single one of them this season.<Meemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-68714033322204246982009-06-15T08:24:23.778-04:002009-06-15T08:24:23.778-04:00Oh Kylee,

It's when I most aware of the drawbacks to shade...well really dry shade! <br /><br />Your vegetable garden still looks like it's producing and it looks like you have the makings for a nice pasta dinner with tomatoes and peppers. Yummy...Cajun food, too! Just add garlic! How about semi green fried tomatoes? <br /><br />Have Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-57549642137444522252009-06-14T14:40:36.770-04:002009-06-14T14:40:36.770-04:00Meems, You are just so lucky to have BOTH veggie ...Meems, You are just so lucky to have BOTH veggie and flower gardens.

I don't suppose I blame you for picking those tomatoes. Ours are the size of large marbles, so we have a ways to go, yet. I'll get the grape tomatoes first, I think. I'd love to have the space you have and be able to plant more ornamentals in with my veggies.
