Summer of 2012 will be the fourth summer I’ve turned our front upper balcony into a tomato garden.
This year I’m adding peas and green peppers.
Yesterday I planted a variety of tomatoes: beefsteak, red cherry, golden something or other.
It takes about 90 days for a tomato plant to go from seedling to mature fruit bearer. In between is a regular diet of water, and a zen-like pruning practice.
But there’s nothing like a tomato fresh off the vine.
Yum.
