Hello Fall and Saying Bye To My Summer Garden 2020


 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.  


I did roast some and put them into freezer containers for winter cooking. 

I will mark the seed packet for next time.


Tonda di Parigi carrots and French Breakfast radishes
Seeds from Botanical Interests

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.

Opie loves eating carrots.

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.

Thank you for visiting my blog.  Have a wonderful and blessed day.

Those tomato photos are making my mouth water! Reminds me of the taste of my homegrown varieties! I wish gardening wasn't so hard here!
