      Actually it’s Tumbling Tom, which I’m not sure is an actual Tumbling Tom, I think it’s a mutt of some sort. But hey it’s producing my first ripe tomato, so I’m happy. I’ll eat it no matter what kind it is.

      My sub-arctics are loaded with fruit, fairly large fruit. They should be ripening any day now, of course the cool week we’re having isn’t helping.

    Yum! We’ve had 8 cherry tomatoes so far. Seven of them last night. I can’t wait till the larger ones ripen!

    I am jealous! I have cherry tomatoes, that turned out to be vining instead of bush style that are loaded with tons of green tomatoes. Plus my giant beefsteak tomatoes that have been taunting me for weeks now, but just keep getting bigger and still staying green.

    Tomato sandwiches are calling my name. You photo gives me hope that mine will change color soon.

About

This is a journal of my small organic gardens in north eastern Ohio, zone 5(a). Our gardens are named after our dog Lucy, a big brown/black lab mix from the local pound. We started calling her “Chiots” when she was a puppy and the name stuck. She thinks the yard and gardens belong to her, she chases away all squirrels & rabbits and the UPS man.

Our yard is very small and fairly shady, we are surrounded by woods all 3 sides. The soil is made up of rocks and clay, not the best, but I’ve spent 7 years adding chicken manure & compost. When we first moved in 8 years ago, the gardens were in terrible shape from years of neglect and too many chemical pesticides and fertilizers. It has taken years to reset the balance of nature and we're finally starting to see the fruit of our efforts. We unearth worms when we dig and we are seeing more and more birds and beneficial insects in the gardens. The soil is also starting to improve after years and years of hard work amending it with all kinds of organic compost.
