PFARR: Slow Tomatoes
Yes, the tomatoes are slow to ripen this year.
Our lack of hot summer weather is putting them at least two or more weeks behind.
In my small backyard garden I have just picked a few small cherry tomatoes and the first of the yellow pear tomatoes are just starting to ripen.
The large tomatoes that I love for bacon lettuce and tomatoes sandwiches are doing nothing and look like they could be at least a month away from ripening.
I love our cooler summer weather but it is not helping those plants that love it hot.
Make your day a good one.
