FINALLY!

[dreamflower]

I thought they'd *never* get ripe! But now we have...

Tomatoes! The two large ones are the *Brandywine* variety, LOL! (How could I resist that?) The smaller ones are Jubilee and also a cherry variety. The labeled markers got lost when my seedlings blew over in the greenhouse, so I can't be positive which are which.

Homegrown tomatoes homegrown tomatoes
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money can't buy
That's true love & homegrown tomatoes!

That song!! I learned that when I was in grade school when some local folksinger came to visit, and all these years, I never knew it was actually a John Denver song. LOL

Hope your 'maters are as good as they look. :)

Look what I found after posting this:

YUM!!! I am so envious! Frood my tomato plant tried so hard, but rabbits/squirrels kept getting to the budding green tomatoes!

I was wondering if you'd gotten any tomatoes this year!

[dreamflower]

I was beginning to wonder if they'd EVER get ripe, but the last few days they've started to! I just hope they pace themselves a little more than the cukes did, so we can eat them all fresh!

We had/have a problem with birds. It's a race to get to them before the birds do, but apparently they prefer riper ones than other varmints do, so the tomatoes have a little longer on the vine.

There's absolutely nothing as wonderful as homegrown tomatoes!

[dreamflower]

*grin* Absolutely.

Unless it's hobbits. *wink*

They look very tasty -- what recipes will you put them into?

I guess everything is bigger in Buckland. : )

It's good to hear it's not only here they're late. I don't have any myself, but several people have been complaining about them still being small and green when they're supposed to be big and red. :) Maybe we'll get tomatoes by Christmas? :P

Yours look lovely though. I'm glad they finally were ripe.
