Still pulling hundreds of tomatoes out of the garden this year. Gave a gallon away 4 days ago. Of course a lot of the Roma tomatoes turn at the exact same time. #gardening #homegrown #homegarden #tomatoes #bakercreekheirloomseeds #romanescotomato #bonnybesttomato #chocolatepeartomato #purpletomato
In case anyone is wondering, the tomatoes are still no slowing down and we have hundreds more on the vine still. #homegrown #homegarden #backyard #vegetables #tomatoes #romatomatoes #purpletomato #chocolatepeartomato
Finally some of my tomatoes are starting to change. As with last year it is my Purple Tomato. #homegrown #homegarden #backyard #tomatoes #purpletomato #ripening
