   There are very few things that taste as good as a vine-ripened tomato, especially if you have some of the heirloom types.

   With the weather you’ve had, Tam, your maters should have preceeded mine by at least two weeks. What variety did you plant?

   Some of mine are heirloom but most are local varieties. I usually put in at least one Bush Early Girl, which lets me have tomatoes mid-july, but the heirlooms actually did better this year.

   I bought a timer and water 15 minutes every midday, which does help.

   rdennis: Wart is funnier!

   My tomato seedlings failed, so I had to settle for store-bought started plants and I got a late start. Usually, with our normal summer heat killing the blossoms, late planting results in just a few pieces of fruit late in the season.

   This year, though, we had and have very mild summer weather (one July day only got to 85!) so I’ve been eating tomatoes for a couple of weeks. Glad you can join us!
