Crazy the difference a long cool spring makes on harvest timelines. My first four ripe tomatoes I picked today vs. what I picked on this date last year!

Located in inland southern California, zone 9b.

  • Omg, what did you do with so many tomatoes?

    • Desperately try to foist them on friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, passing dog walkers, the mailman... anybody who'd take some 😆

      Beyond that, we'd eat tomato based meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and we canned dozens of pints of salsa and sauce (that we're still eating!).
