This year was not a big one for the garden. The heat came early and I'm not cut out for it so I didn't plant very much. I did have two tomato plants, one of them in a pot in the sunshine, and the other in my cultivated garden patch. My potted cherry tomato did not disappoint, but my garden plot is now in the shade. Our growing season spans most of the year and so our trees span most of the yard. All my garden tomatoes are gorgeous and large, but green. For weeks now I've been waiting for a hint of blush, but there's still no sign of it. The same thing happened last year and I continued to wait for a ripe tomato until a few were spoiled by freezing. Surprisingly, the ones which weren't cracked and soggy on the vine actually turned red in a bowl on my counter! I thought that was interesting. They were certainly getting less sunshine inside my kitchen than they were on their shady vine. Maybe the difference is that our indoor climate is steady, albeit cool. Taking no chances this year, I've brought most of what's out there inside. I'll share if something fun happens.
