We watched our garden explode with tomatoes and now the vines are spindly and bending over. They are still quite a few beautiful little tomatoes hanging on though and we're enjoying them at almost every meal.
We'll look at this photograph in January when we're eating pasta with canned tomatoes and think back and sigh.
Oh man! That photo looks incredible. I've yet to have a great tomato this season and it's about over. It's just not like it used to be and I don't have any luck growing on my balcony because it gets above 120º up here. Booooo!
ReplyDeleteOurs lasted a little bit longer (pulled the vines out this weekend, actually). Maybe it's because Tustin gets more sun than Huntington Beach? :) I too, shall be looking back at summer garden photos when it's dead of winter, and all that's growing are rocks. And tulips. But you can't eat tulips. :(
ReplyDeleteI'm totally jealous--we spend the whole summer shrouded in a thick marine layer and the tomatoes suffered as a result. We've got the winter garden in now--carrots, radishes, broccoli, spinach, cabbage--and we're hoping the winter will take pity on us.
