Other people had tomatoes WEEKS ago, some MONTHS! We live in an area where the growing season dictates setting one’s tomato plants out on Memorial Day. Its been quite a rollercoaster ride with endless weeks of dark rainy days and then now drought conditions (it turned around so fast). Our trees are now already in a good fall color, WAY too early.

If you are thinking about coming to central Massachusetts on Columbus Day for peak fall colors, you will have missed it!

Back to my own little ecosystem.

We are simply awash in organically grown red gold. We have some mega beefsteak tomatoes that are stupendous if not grown from organic seeds (but organic thereafter).
