Here on the north Oregon coast where winter lasted clear into May...well, let's just say that I cheated on the tomato plants and bought a BIG started one... I have 2 green cherry-sized tomatoes on one plant - and I am just doing daily cheers for them to grow fast :) Tomatoes are soooo iffy here - it just doesn't get warm enough for them. On the other hand - I've got more lettuce than I can eat :) It likes this cool wet weather apparently. ahhh! Success! Well, that was enough to make me toss the one Roma I had here….

I probably started because of how uninteresting uncooked tomatoes taste. Cooked at least they've got spices. I only eat cooked tomatoes but this is still worrying.

Ate a roma tomato, he got sick. Once you get used to eating seasonally all of it will taste better I promise. You will not want tomatoes when they are not fresh.

They have yet to produce a ripened tomato, but a few are close. And it makes me glad we’ve got a few tomato plants growing in the yard.
