exciting news

...my tomatoes have started to ripen!!!! woohoo!!

i know that when you saw the title of this post tomato news is probably not what you were thinking you would find here. but these little guys have been sitting on my tomato plant for MONTHS! i was about a week away from ripping it out and giving up. i had spent some serious time on google searching for 'how long does it take tomatoes to ripen' which did not ease my troubles at all (the standard answer was a few weeks). however, they are finally ripening and they are delicious. yum yum yum!

  1. Homegrown tomatoes are the best. So much flavour.
    I received my vintage sheet FQ's today. Thankyou so very much for organising the swap. I love the beautiful FQ's I got in return.. I can't wait to make something from them all. :).

  4. yummy - lucky you to have them so early! I can't wait till we can plant our summer ones. My Nan always says to pick them when they start changing colour and ripen them on your windowsill - delicious :)

  9. It's always so rewarding to get a good crop of something yummy from your own garden, don't you think? Those tomatoes look especially delicious, too!
