My tomato season here in Florida is winding down, and I will be pulling up the plants within the next week. Over two months, I have harvested somewhere around pounds of black heirloom tomatoes from 13 bushes. I've eaten many BLT sandwiches, other sandwiches with one slice of tomato covering the entire sandwich, made salads, salsa and tomato sauce, cooked other dishes with tomatoes, sold a bunch, and have given tomatoes to all the neighbors, friends and to my doctor. My tomato season is enjoyable time for all of us, my friends, neighbors, and customers. Now on to my summer crop -- white acre peas.

Do you grow your own? If so, have you ever grown black heirloom tomatoes? They are the best I have ever eaten and all I grow anymore. If you would like to grow some, I will send you some seeds for you to grow your own plants. Just send me a private message giving me your name and mailing address.
@wordywalt I do grow my own at my home now in ferndale... Unfortunately, I'm living in an apartment in NYC right now and don't have regular access to my tomatoes... I haven't heard of black heirloom tomatoes... I'll look into it when and if I move back to ferndale...
WE still have quite a wait up here. Congrats on your crop.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
