the first tomatoes from our tiny garden this year are little cherry 500s. we're usually late bloomers because we buy the small $2 plants, but this year we weren't playing around. we bought the $6 plants! someone is going to be very happy when he gets home today. he'd only be happier if i made dinner. you never know, stranger things have happened. i do know that i'll have some photos from the edible garden display at the new york botanical garden later this week.

Aren't cherry tomatoes off the vine the best? Our large tomatoes are still green, but the small cherry tomatoes are doing so well. I can't stop munching on them!
ReplyDeleteHi from your niece, Lucy :)
They're gorgeous!! We grew cherry tomatoes last year. They were no match for my black thumb- only ended up with a handful... but this year we went for the big guys and I'm happy to say my black thumb is loosing badly :)
ReplyDeleteThose look gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI'll miss my garden this year. Moved and couldn't plant one!
candi - scott usually eats them before he even gets home from picking them!
ReplyDeletekrissy - sometimes, bigger is better! your black thumb is hereby banished ;).
lauren - we have a small plot in a community garden - 7'x11'. maybe, there's one in your neighborhood?
those tomatoes look great. I love them with pecorino romano cheese and olive oil...mmmm
ReplyDeleteWho needs to cook dinner when you can gorge on these beauties ? :)
ReplyDeleteYum...I like In Another Lifetime's idea. They look delicious!!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are such sweet little tomatoes! I planted the $2 ones this year so I suppose I have a little while to wait still.
ReplyDeletewe would be happy with the $2 variety, but became competitive because we were surrounded by giants in other people's gardens!
ReplyDeletei love the recipe, super-simple and works for just a few. thank you!
Fantastic! I love homegrown vegetables...they always taste better! These tomatoes look perfect for a caprice salad:)
ReplyDeleteyum! i snacked on cherry tomatoes all day long today! yours look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCindy your tomoatoes look perfect! Isn't it fun to watch things grow?! xoxo
ReplyDeletethey look so cute, I guess they are very tastefull!
ReplyDeletegood for you! this is the first year in many years that we didn't plant cherry tomatoes in a pot on our patio. we just got too busy, i guess. we lucked out, though. a volunteer tomato plant came up in the back flower garden and has tons of green tomatoes on it! yeah!
ReplyDeleteI love home grown tomatoes :)

ReplyDeleteOh, awesome! I'm still waiting for the ones on our little plant to ripen. I put together (store-bought) tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella yesterday for guests and it reminded me how you just can't beat fresh, home-grown tomatoes.
ReplyDeletethey look soooooo yummie!
ReplyDeleteenjoy them!
