In my small garden, a few hiccups but I was pretty happy with what I was able to grow. A few things did not do so well while first timers did great, like my corn, new variety of zinnias and below, Brandywine Pink heirloom tomatoes. The seed packet I purchased had a photo of RomaVF/container variety, from Ferry-Mores.
When the plants started to fruit, they were round and were growing huge! I was just about to take the plants out. The huge green tomatoes were not turning color until one morning, I saw some a few of the tomatoes has some color. I looked on Ferry-Morse website and saw that they looked like their Brandywine Pink. Not disappointed but I'm glad I did not take them out. The Brandywine tomatoes take 90 - 120 days for maturity. Phew!
The plants needed to be stake. The tomatoes were very heavy, beautiful and tasty.
Half of my bed I have more Tonda di Parigi carrots, Fireball blend zinnia (I do not see them on their website at this time), and Calliope blend carrots. Botanical Interests seeds.
I can't believe that tomorrow will be the first day of fall. This summer flew by so fast, but I can't wait for next summer. I have my list of what I want to plant next year.
I did roast some and put them into freezer containers for winter cooking.
I will mark the seed packet for next time.
