MY HEIRLOOM TOMATO UPDATE!

Finally, we have some ripe tomatoes. It has taken forever considering I planted them early and they got so big so fast. Here are the first ones. The odd shaped one is Tula of Russia and delicious.

This is the Black Krim. Very juicy and sweet.

Here are my Tula of Russia Tomatoes on the vine. They are very large and heavy and finally beginning to ripen.

I picked this beauty this morning. I could not believe how juicy and sweet it was. I had it on a bagel simply topped with salt and pepper...yummmmmm!

I know now that for the growing season in 2013 I am sticking to the Tula of Russia and the Black Krim. I have planted the smaller grape tomatoes and they have not grown well and a yellow tomato which I do not see at all. I will not get as many as I hoped but it is the first time from seed. I think it will just get better and better as I learn what grows best. How were your tomatoes this year?

SILENT SUNDAY!

A MORNING STROLL AROUND THE FARM!

It is such a lovely morning here, the heat seems to have broke for now and it is a beautiful breezy morning. I thought I would take a walk around the farm and show you what it looks like today.

I snuggle up here in the mornings with my cup of tea and watch the sun coming through the trees. Birds and squirrels are scurrying everywhere, mostly to get away from Rufus and Daisy.

This is the Heirloom Garden from the view of the screened-in room.

I love the views from this room. I sometimes feel like I am in a different place, tucked away from the rest of the world.

Just around the corner I have a nest of sweet baby robins. The mommy is so brave, she sits there even with the dogs running under her.

The gardens still look lovely despite the lack of rain.

I should really sit on my front porch it is so pretty. Rufus decided to join us, I wonder what he has been up to?

I think I know what he has been doing. I wonder where his partner in crime is.

There she is! Daisy came to rescue Rufus and off they went to get into who knows what.

I have a lot of lovely bunnies in my garden ( the kind that don't eat anything) , this time of the summer they almost disappear under the Hostas.

Thanks for joining me on my morning stroll. Hope you all have a lovely day.
