Tomatoes

Green To Red Tomato

The first red tomato in my veggie patch is the Romano, the Yellow tomato is still green, and the Big Red one is far behind - it has a few flowers though.  They are very slow but very encouraging.

This summer, I may have enough tomatoes for what I need. Green tomato sambal, tomato salads will be on the menu.   For the summer, the treat is tomato aspic.
