Get your tomatoes

[spence]

Years ago I had a big garden with my neighbor at my last house. I bought Pompeii seeds, a giant San Marzano variety from Italy with fruit from four to six inches long. 14 plants with 2x2s for stakes. They all grew to seven feet high and four or five feet in diameter. It would take me hours to sucker them.

Bushels of fruit, I should have opened a farm stand.

Totally disappointed with this season's plants that I crowed about last spring... Not going down that road again...

But BIL from Virginia brought up a box full of farm grown tomatoes that were/are awesome and beautiful. We have been eating, sharing with neighbors and making a little sauce. What a difference being 3 growing zones south of here...

As a reminder ahead of local vegetable harvests, check out our friend Zeno's Adriatic Gourmet site and get you some of his first press extra virgin olive oil! You won't be sorry.... https://www.adriaticgourmet.com/
