Yes, they are here. The great red globes, the tiny scarlet pearls, the pointy ones and the giants. We've got tomatoes!
It's always such a thrill to have the first cherry tomato right off the vine. This actually happened more than two weeks ago, but I've been very busy and haven't been keeping up with posts. But the first full sized tomatoes ripened last weekend. We had two tomatoes from the store in our fruit bowl, so we did a "blind" taste test. (Blind is in quote because we put the slices on the plate, looked at them and then decided to close our eyes). Hands down, there really isn't any competition even if it wasn't a very fair test. Indeed, the judges were rather biased from the start, but nonetheless... The garden tomato wins for flavour, texture, colour and smell. Oh, that smell. How I love it.
