Anticipation, Thy Name is Green Tomato

My vegetable garden is total of anticipation correct now.

The greenish beans are flowering as well as hence are the mash plants.  The corn stalks are to a greater extent than than knee articulation high which is proficient because to a greater extent than or less hither nosotros similar to tell "knee high yesteryear the quaternary of July" nearly our corn, fifty-fifty though most plain corn is shoulder high yesteryear now.

The zinnias are budding upwards nicely as well as hence are the marigolds. I promise I larn equally proficient a display of those this twelvemonth equally I did final year.

I produce wishing my cucumber plants were farther along as well as wonder why the okra plants are hence small.  It's funny, i row of okra seems normal size as well as and hence a human foot away from it, some other row is one-half the size. And a human foot away from it at that topographic point are some cabbages growing. I wonder if okra doesn't similar to grow yesteryear cabbage?  I'll receive got to hold off that upwards some day.

I am pleased, though, amongst the peppers, peculiarly after the misfortunate functioning of the peppers final summer. They were awful. This year, they genuinely receive got some of the start peppers laid upwards for me to pick. You know, those start minor ones that you lot genuinely ought to selection hence the found knows you lot hateful business, that you lot aren't going to locomote satisified amongst i puny pepper hence it had ameliorate larn busy blooming some to a greater extent than as well as making to a greater extent than peppers, bigger peppers. In other words, fulfilling its life's mission of producing seed bearing fruit as well as lots of it.

But all those pepper plants are forgotten when I hold off downward the row of tomato plant plants as well as encounter all the greenish tomatoes. All I tin sack intend of straight off is how proficient those tomatoes are going to taste.

The other solar daytime I went downward the row of tomatoes as well as clipped off the suckers as well as tied the growing plants upwards all squeamish as well as pretty. Of course of teaching I stake my tomatoes. I powerfulness locomote lazy but I'd locomote ashamed to locomote hence lazy equally to merely cage my tomatoes.

I checked for signs of illness as well as stared at the plants to encounter if I could discovery a tomato plant hornworm. Negatory on both. The tomato plant plants are looking proficient heading into the quaternary of July holiday.

I wonder which tomato plant volition locomote the start to plough red, as well as locomote crowned the Queen of the Garden as well as receive got its moving painting splashed all across social media.

Will it locomote i of my dear 'German Johnson' tomatoes?

I intend it powerfulness locomote because I cheated merely a niggling fleck as well as bought bigger 'German Johnson' tomato plant plants this spring, hence they receive got a fleck of a caput start over the other tomatoes. Cheating is a slippery slope, isn't it? Now that I'm heading downward that slope, I powerfulness halt upwards disqualifying whatever other tomato plant that turns cherry (or yellowish equally is the illustration amongst 'Yellow Boy' tomatoes) earlier the 'German Johnson' tomato plant hence that it volition locomote the start tomato plant of summer, the Queen of the Garden, the holder of the essence of summertime eating.

So yes, I would position my coin on the 'German Johnson' tomato plant beingness the start to officially plough cherry without beingness disqualified. Its prize volition locomote that I volition swallow it on a large plate of summertime.

Wow, merely imagine a plate of summertime.  Big slices of 'German Johnson' tomatoes, fresh greenish beans cooked amongst novel cherry potatoes as well as a fleck of bacon as well as onion, as well as throw on a side of fried eggplant. My friends, that is the dinner of my dreams.

And dreams come upwards true—my mass is proof of that—so I'll locomote eating that dinner afterward this summer. Oh yes, I will.
