My excuses are that we don't really get tomato-suitable weather here until September and that we had an unseasonable cool spell most of May.

But most of the tomatoes are in, the squash will go in this weekend. I did get the watering system set up, and the cat is on gopher patrol (which consists of him sleeping in the garden: it annoys the rodents).

We had a couple of mornings in the low 40s this week (PA). That's true, we don't get really good tomatoes until Sept. The first ones come in August.

I will still plant cucumber and pumpkin seeds this week.... when the soil dries out. Then I'm quitting for this year.

A six pack of cherry tomatoes, now that would get interesting. When I was new to gardening I planted a six pack of yellow pear tomatoes. That was

Those yellow pear tomatoes are truly prolific! I was sending baskets of them to my husband's workplace where they were appreciated. I don't plant them anymore! They even came up wild and overgrew my heirlooms.

I think it's kind of fun to see what comes up, though. I hope they are red ones. I planted six yellow tomatoes already because that was all I could find about a week ago at K-mart.

the fun will be the mystery part! Test me....let's see if I can name it once you begin to get ripe ones!

Let's play "Stump the Host"!

Oh... this is cool.... I found three Pineapple tomatoes and a Black Prince on the clearance rack! Those are both new ones for me.

I grew it for a couple of years and it produced an abundant amount of smallish fruit.
I'm growing a "Hawaiian Pineapple" this year.

Clearance rack tomatoes... another adventure. One year I bought three plants at the end of season and only one was the variety on the tag. All three were tagged as big fruiting heirlooms but one was a Roma and another was 6-8 oz. generic red tomato.

True.... someone could switch the tags.
