That looks sooooo goood! My tomatoes have flowers but they haven't had much growth yet, due to the cool weather we've been having here in SE Washington.
Interesting how people use their first tomatoe. For us, it get's split 50:50 and eaten unblemished. When the 2nd or 3rd one gets here, it's the first official tomatoe sandwiche of the year. Love fresh tomatoes and market tomatoes are just so like eating stems........ Mine aren't even blooming yet.
I make a lot of that sort of thing, Joan! Later . . .
'Digger, I didn't realize you are in SE Washington! Those things I said about WA farmers, that wasn't taken personally, I hope! Cherries? Yes, I did just notice that WA State cherries are showing up at the market.
That's farmers' market . . . tomatoes from the soopermarket may as well be "stems." Oh no! Probably people who work at supermarkets here!
I was going thru my tomatoes tying them to stakes yesterday. Maybe they appreciated that during today's wind. Anyway, I noticed flowers on Sweet 100's, Sungolds, Tigerellas, and the Mystery Girls! Oh, and on Dagma's Perfections, as well - except, those things were terrible about setting fruit until it warmed up last year!
Hahahaha, nittygrittydirtdigger is not so sensitive as to take personally a factual account of shady business practices by some Washingtonian farmers. There's ne'er-do-wells in every state.
