1. We got some awesome big red tomatoes from a produce stand.

Not sure where they were grown, but I think they are local. MS tomatoes!

[femmocrat]

2. Not yet in PA. Lots of green ones, though.

There is local corn available, though! :)

[Richardo]

3. I love these threads on local produce

How are the cantaloupes in PA this year? :9

[femmocrat]

7. Too early for cantaloupes, silly!

But the zucchini are doing just fine. :evilgrin:

[Richardo]

11. We're getting nothing in Texas - too hot and dry

:(

4. Yes, and our Tomato Festival is this Saturday. They're expecting 40,000 people!

Hanover County, Virginia is the home of some of the best tomatoes on the planet!

Still trying to get the soil right (containers) for the Big Boys & etc.

9. NOTHIN'!

Not even a blossom. I planted three (plants, not seeds!) a month ago, but it's been so cold and rainy, everything's been delayed. Blossoms JUST showed up on my green bean vines. The only other blossom I can see is on the zucchini plant (of course). Garden's gonna be lame this year. :(

15. Sorry to hear that.

But it makes me not so sad that I didn't get to garden this year. I'm just trying to grow grass. The rain has been good for that. I had to water for the first time tonight.

Unfortunately the soil here is waaaay more compacted and clayish then at the other house. Not sure how I'm going to manage putting in a garden next year. :(

[MorningGlow]

20. Yeah, we had that when we lived in Honeoye

I had no idea how clay-like the soil was in the FL till then. Between the soil and the pines, I couldn't grow shit there--not even ferns!

You'll probably want to try raised beds next year. I hear they're really great.

[The empressof all]

10. Not yet but I'm gonna have a big crop this year

Remind me in the fall to post the Green Tomato Cake and Green Tomato Cookie recipes.

18. ewww

[Orsino]

12. Yes!

Had a few ripe Tigerellas in the last week or two. I'm waiting for the larger hybrids to ripen.

[greenbriar]

13. our radishes came on in droves

we had more than we could eat


Onions are great stem onions but hubby wants big onions so doesn't want us to pull them


have found some really good cucumbers

peppers are coming on


but I can't wait for the tomoatos


nothing better than a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich but only with home grown tomatos

[Shell Beau]

14. This post reminds me.... Has anyone tried the topsy turvy?

I think that is the name. The thing where the tomatoes are grown upside down? I know people have grown them that way for years, but I am curious about the contraption they are selling on TV.

[Gormy Cuss]

16. We'll have them in a few days and that makes them two weeks late.

Screwy cool spring weather around here.

[dana_b]

A really sweet/tangy, flavorful golden cherry tomato, very viney, very easy to grow. So delicious!!
