I wish you were here Lindsay - to come over the pick the tomatoes while we are gone. We will leave toward the end of May and they will just be beginning to ripen when we leave. We'll be gone for 2 weeks and they are sure to be ripe tomatoes while we are gone. My daughter will come over and pick some, but she has her own tomatoes! We'll only be home for 3 days and then we'll be off to Alaska for two more weeks. I know I'll get some good ole 'maters during those 3 days, but I sure wish I could take some with me - but don't think I can smuggle them on the plane
Because we arent' going to be home till later in June, I planted some varieties that are supposed to set on and produce even in hot weather. Typically, tomatoes won't set on fruit when it is really hot, but 2 of my plants are supposed to - so we'll see. Hopefully, we'll have tomatoes all summer!!!
I'm going to plant some okra tomorrow - and one squash vine.
