We LOVE tomatoes here. In fact, that is the one vegetable my husband always asks if I've planted enough of them. The eager anticipation of fresh from the vine ripened tomatoes is mouth watering!
This year we've planted several varieties including Celebrity, Rutger's, Dark Cherry and these little gems that I have pictured. I'm really not sure of the name. The plants were volunteers from last year. I had gotten some from a fellow gardener, composted a few, then here they are...new plants.
The tomatoes are marble sized or smaller, but delicious. I like the fact they ripen so fast that the grasshoppers fail to get them fast enough. It's the small victories I celebrate!
Growing organically and living with grasshoppers has it's challenges, but the fight is worth it.
Hello, I found you on Blotanical and came over to read awhile. Love reading about your chickens. Maybe they will help with the grasshopper problem.
