This evening I was checking out the plants as Tony was feeding them and this is what I seen in the middle of all the blooming tomatoes. Babies :)
I sowed the seeds for the plants in January so I would have an early crop, within the next few days I will sow more seed for a late crop. Yes I can get two each season.
How is your garden growing?

It looks good. What else do you have in your garden? When i was a kid my grandmother used to roast fresh tomatoes from her garden for me. I miss summer vacations as they used to be back then.

Pick them, wrap each in newspaper and store in a cool place and when you want one unwrap and let it sit on a sunny windowsill.

@andriaperry Yes, I saw seeds in the greenhouse in late February, they are usually ready for pick up from the beginning of July.

We actually have three growing seasons - spring, summer and fall - we usually have lettuce well into October. We have a ton of blooms and tiny tiny tomatoes.

@andriaperry I made the mistake of planting some in summer and it was too hot. I'm hoping that this lot will grow and crop better.

When I was young we had tomatoes in our garden and whenever i see them bear fruit I was extremely happy and would tell my mom about it.
We don't have it now. But that tomato is looking good.

How many weeks would you wait before they get red and ripe?

Oh, we don't have one. Our neighbour is using our flower beds to grow peas, though.

I have to transfer my tomatoes to bigger pots. They will do so much better once I get them in a pot where they can stretch their legs.
Planted green and yellow beans out in the garden bed tonight. It rained enough to water the bed so it will give them a little start.
Have to get the other plants out in the bed soon.

Those will be real beauties once they are done growing. We only have a small herb garden and they aren't doing so well. I am not sure how well they are doing as I am not the gardener in the family.
I'd probably kill the poor things.

Wow! Big fresh tomatoes. Great. Well, I don't plant veggies in my garden instead I planted fruit trees in our front and backyard.
