Two red tomatoes today! Sarah at the store got one, I’ll have the other with dinner.
They’re the ones all the way to the right. I looked at the tag, but forgot the variety on the way upstairs.
I know they’re from Silver Heights Farm Nursery, and that I put them in on Memorial Day. I bought them at Union Square market, and it was the leggiest specimen there.
That seems to be how the plant looks, though. I just looked at the Silver Heights catalog, and think it might be the Silvery Fir Tree Tomato. (All organic nursery! Yay! And lovely ladies working there too.)
Something is eating the leaves of the red flowering beans. I turned over lots of leaves looking for the culprit, but couldn’t find anybody. Lots of cut leaf margins, and a couple vinelets stripped wholly of leaves: could it be ants?

We had our first cherry tomato yesterday. There’s a bunch more making promises, so we’ll see…
I under-watered while J was on vacation, so I fear I may have harmed the harvest. :(

Hi Mo! Congrats on the tomato. I have some, but no red ones yet! How are the grapes coming? My dahlias are starting to bloom. When they arrive they have names like “Red Devil” and “Patricia Ann’s Sunset”, so I have learned the names and enjoy watching them blooms appear. Hope it’s a pretty day up there - beautiful here after a rain.
