    Great update Robin ❤
    Wow what a whopper of a tomato they were. Tomatoes coming on great. and so many ripe ones too!
    That salsa looks delicious 😋
    Butternut sqash fabulous too.
    Your cucumbers are finished and mine have just started producing cucumbers 😂
    Wow Sunflowers are coming along great and your other plant challenges/grow alongs.
    Favourite variety of tomato so far this year is firecracker.

      I didn't think I'd even be in the sunflower running frankly, but the one is pretty tall now.
      Yes, it's been an amazing tomato year. So far the yellows are our winners...I think. I have a couple types just starting up.
      Here's hoping the squirrels leave my sunflowers alone until I get a bloom/🥰🤣😍🙂measurement.

      Eating a BLT with homemade pickles on the side as I type this. Been a great year thus far for many things. Some others failed but that's the game right?

      Pocketbooks have a so-so tom flavor but improve with roasting. Having a problem with parts of each not ripening and other parts getting too ripe.

    Hi Robin, what a great harvest! Your garden is at least several weeks ahead of mine. I did buy a few thornless blackberries recently and hope to get some harvest like you do! It's so hard to pick a favorite tomato - the purple heartthrob dwarf is producing very well and the 1st to really start coming in, it will always be on my list.

    • @RobinGardens
      @RobinGardens  4 місяці тому

      Oh you are going to love the blackberries. So dependable.
      I canned some tomato sauce last night. Oh man that was a lot of work, but I can see half the dining room table again LOL. I think I need to try that Purple Heart Throb.
      I just heard that we're in for a warmer than normal Sept. and Oct. so maybe you'll have time to ripen everything.

    Stunning tomatoes! I was thinking about how carefully you handled them, like they were newborn puppies, and then you dropped one. 😉As my area is small and season is short, I've only grown two tomato varieties, one cherry with seeds from a store bought tomato, it's sweet and nice, and a determinate, little red riding hood. It's OK, I wish it had a richer taste. Oh, and then there is a mystery volunteer tomato which I'm not sure will be able to ripen in time. Guess I haven't found my favourite yet. There are so many varieties I'd like to try, I need a large greenhouse in my future home. 😅

    • @RobinGardens
      @RobinGardens  4 місяці тому +1

      Thankfully the drop did not harm the tomato!
      Half the fun is growing new varieties to see if you find a new favorite. We're totally loving the Dr.Wyche's Yellow and Luicd Gem.
      BLT's for lunch!
      Oh I hope you get the greenhouse you want. Maybe a second small one would work in your space and give you more options to move around.

      Yup I asked her the same question....very tiny amount of heat unless you eat the seeds which have a kick. Online they are supposed to be an orange shade. Even though mild wear a glove to cut....I didn't and man my hand stung for a day.
