More tomatoes
The last few weeks I have been picking a lot of tomatoes, almost a basket full, every few days. I gave one giant tomato, the size of a small plate, to a piano teacher. Some pictures of my garden today.
I live near the coast in SoCal and I have been gardening organically for nearly 20 years. Recently, I expanded my effort to vermi compost, where just about everything goes into my worm bins. I love the idea of living in a farm but for now, this is where it is, a tiny urban plot. Feeding my family from a tiny plot of land has been my goal for the last 10 years, besides, fresh picked fruit & vegetables always taste so much better than anything bought from a supermarket.
My parents had these tomatoes this year that looked and felt like mini peaches. They were so good! Nice sunflowers.
