Anyone remember my tomato experiment--starting them indoors in an effort to have tomatoes by Michael's birthday (which is tomorrow)?
Well, we've been eating tomatoes for two weeks. They've been very small and we get ripe ones every three days or so. But finally, it looks like we're going to have a steady crop. Look at this monster I picked this morning. It looks like conjoined twin tomatoes. It's a Brandywine. Sometimes they form these odd shapes that make them difficult to slice into perfect rounds, but the taste more than makes up for it.
And look what's next to it. We're going to have sauted zucchini tonight. Yes, I know, in a couple of weeks I will be thoroughly sick of zucchini. But for now it's exciting and so pretty.

Woohoo! Congratulations! They look YUMMY!
Lovely veggies!
We've been getting lots of tomatoes from our 4th of July plant (the first on June 22) and a few from Jaune Flame (yellow). These are about the size of a silver dollar.
Nothing from Brandywine or Black Crim, yet -- although both bushes are LOADED and the tomatoes are huge. We had to move them all because the plants were literally baking against the siding.
A friend of ours in rural Ohio joked at a gathering at Malabar Farm State Park. He said, "The only reason we lock our cars around here is not that we're afraid of folks stealing anything. We're afraid they're going to leave us their surplus zucchinis."
Oh my gosh, that is a mutant tomato! WOW!
I'm laughing. I tend to think oversized veggies look like pathologic specimens. Google Image "acardiac twin fetus" and I think you will have your tomato!
