Yay! Tomatoes (and eggplants)




The tomato plants are just going nuts in the warm, dry weather this year.  Romas (top), big heirloom tomatoes (Cherokee purple, 2nd down) have been growing fruit for a while, but none has a pink tinge yet.  Some of the volunteer cherry tomatoes are nearly ripe though (3rd pic).  Amazongly, I seem to actually have succeeded in getting a few eggplants to survive the constant onslaught of flea beetles this year by planting them in pots near the house (bottom picture).  I love tomatoes, and it seems like we might be on track for a record early harvest this year.
