The First Tomato

The first tomato ripened around July 1st. Because of all the chaos of trying to get the garden finished, Natalie returning from Europe, and 4th of July festivities, I did not record when the first tomato ripened. I think it was a Champion, not an Early Girl II. That’s about a week later than last year. I think the cool May and early June slowed down the ripening process.

The plants are vigorous and loaded with Tomatoes. The cherry tomatoes aren’t doing as well as I haven’t fertilized yet.
