The tomato plants are the big ones - I even pruned them back a couple times...I have lots of big pretty green tomatoes... but no red yet!
But I do have....
SERANO PEPPERS! 
This plant is full of Thai peppers (very very hot!)They will turn orange before I pick them.
Getting ready for Salsa!
Gotta be the weather. We got tomatoes in late, but even accounting for that we don't have tomatoes yet.
ReplyDeleteRegular ones, anyhow. I planted only cherry tomatoes myself, figuring to swap with my mother and mother-in-law who each grow buckets of Jet Stars every year, and neither of them has had any get ripe yet, while I have so many little cherry tomatoes from just two plants that it's crazy.
And I have no serranos or Thai peppers, but I have jalapenos and habaneros. Which is gonna make a weird salsa unless I get more than cherry tomatoes, is all I can say...
I didn't even try tomatoes this year. They are so hard to grow here, and even our nasturtiums are poking along. Looks like you might have some pretty fiery salsa in the not too distand future!
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks so good. I to am waiting for just one red tomato and then look out, they will all be ready at ones.
ReplyDeleteArney picked peppers tonight so I made stuffed Banana Peppers, I loved them, Arney said they were to hot.....
It's been really warm so I think we are looking at days before a real tomato can go on our tables...I hate store tomato's. My oldest Trevor called yesterday to see if we had any red ones yet.
Hope you are having a great summer, Hugs,Mary
I didn't try any tomatoes this year. For last year I had two plants which would be plenty for me, but I never got any, for the squirrels always picked them as soon as any had a touch of red on them....and then I would find them all over the yard, for they would take one bite and throw it down... I knew it was a squirrel, for I saw it in the bush picking one.... I had red bell peppers and they were great, but not this year.... your plants look very healthy....

Your garden is wonderful!! I got mine in so late, but there growing and I still have hope. Plants are really small, specially if they were next to yours. My tomato plants look like babys, but have small fruit on them already.
ReplyDeleteIf you do feel you want to can any for all those who are asking you to do so. Let me know and I'll tell you how if you don't already know. One can can just about anything.
Such a healthy yummy looking garden!

What fabulous looking peppers, especially.
ReplyDeleteWe are inundated with tomatoes...this is The Year of the Tomato around here. Tomato ketchup, tomato jam, tomato sauce, tomatoes for our neighbors, tomatoes getting thrown at the guy who grew too many of them....!!!!
Holy moley, look at all those hot peppers! You're going to be in for some festive cooking this month. I wonder, can you dry them for winter?

That Thai Pepper Plant picture is a gorgeous photo - when they turn orange, a similar photo would make a great front for a card . . . or a postcard!
