I bought three garden tomato plants at Costco this year. Reminder to self:
don’t buy tomato plants any more!
With our busy schedule and uncertain summer sunshine we don’t need to be growing our own tomatoes. For the price I paid on the plants, I could have bought tomatoes at the local organic farm 2 miles down the road.
The only tomatoes that are growing well seem to be these little guys:
I do admit – they are quite tasty. I will have to post my favorite simple pesto recipe with fresh tomatoes soon!
Did you grow garden tomatoes this summer?
What else did you grow?
This was our first year growing tomato’s and they are just starting to turn red. I can’t wait to try them out!
I’m sure if I tried to grow tomatoes, they wouldn’t make it, I kind of have a black thumb!
Those are yummy looking.
Have a great WW!
POSH
A tomato plant sprouted in our front flower bed this summer… Maybe a stray seed dropped last year somehow?? anyhow, we had one green tomato on it for months. Finally the heat arrived and it turned yellow and then red within 24 hours. Now we have 5 more growing on the plant! But not sure if there will be enough heat for them all. 🙁 I’d like to intentionally grow some cherry tomatoes next yr! Yours look yummy.
Stopping by from sarah halstead’s link up.
Happy Wednesday. 🙂
This is the first year that our tomato plants actually ended up with a bunch of tomatoes that are turning red at a decent time. We have had tomatoes in everything the last few weeks and have had to give some away! It has been great. I think our nice warm weather this year helped, last year it didn’t seem to warm up until the end of July and we ended up with mostly green tomatoes.
Our oldest daughter LOVES little tomatoes like this!
She’d freak out if we bought a whole bunch lol.
they look very tasty (as I’m sure they were)
The only thing we “grew” this year was flowers and that was a bag of wild flowers sides that you spread out and water lol
I can’t get it together to grow much. I had a basil plant and mint this year. Next year, maybe tomatoes?
We don’t garden anymore as the deer’s always ate our plants!
Nice photograph, looking forward to your pesto recipe!
I was tempted to grow tomatoes for salsa and spaghetti sauce, but as I look at my dead strawberry plant, I’m glad I didn’t. 🙂 We did grow squash, zucchini, okra, and jalapeno peppers, but I’m certain the tomatoes would have died. ha!
Those look really tasty! We didn’t grow anything this year. Maybe next year. Heh.
YUM! Love fresh veggies!!!
Those tomatoes sure do look juicy and tasty! I don’t grow any veggies, but I might in the future.
I usually get more tomatoes than I know what to do and thru september. well this summer was a major bust. first something ate all green tomatoes off the plants and then something just killed them all, think the high temps. I have pulled out all my plants already. Sad year.
We grew tomatoes, potatoes, corn, beans, basil and oregano. Last year we did much better because it wasn’t so hot.
