Almost every nursery in town and in the wine country is carrying fully grown tomatoes plants with built in cages. The plants have blooms and I spied a few tiny tomatoes also.
All you need is a sunny spot, water it, and the tomato will do the rest! Of course you have to pick them when they are ripe. Most of these plants were cherry tomato varieties, some grape shaped, and some round!
Wishing everyone an abundance of Saturday Smiles! Don't forget, Sunday is Mother's Day!
Good Saturday morning.
Take care, be safe and have a lovely weekend.

We got our tomatoes in the ground this week. They are wrapped snug in their little greenhouse wire cages to keep them warm until the temperatures heat up consistently. A couple of them have a few blossoms on them already.

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD How fun, and I like watching them blossom. We have strange cool weather thus far. However, everything is blooming! Wishing you a wonderful day. A
Mary Margaret has banned me from going back to our local nursery this year. It seems as though that I have a problem. I have filled our garden with way too many tomato plants. I have zero restraint when it comes to tomatoes! And basil! Have a great weekend!

That is something that I should plant, I have heard that they are fairly easy to maintain and I love eating tomatoes!

Out tomatoes are flowering out right now Ron and Alexandra Seigel and am excited that we will have a few 'volunteers' from last year's variety, especially the Sweet Millions. They are tiny but packed with big flavor and perfect for Capreese Salad Skewers. Happy Saturday!

Cherry tomatoes are my favorite. Maybe I will try growing one here.

One of the days I was at the nursery, they had brought over 20,000 plants. I think that more people are buying tomatoes and growing a verggie garden. A
Raymond Henson, eXp Realty We have 3 now, and two basil plants near them, one regular and one purple. I am intending to get another one...pesto is great on fish too. And basil keeps the pests away....you have to have lots. LOL A

For some reason or other, I have not spotted a sweet million in town or elsewhere. I have a yellow cherry tomato that keep producing like crazy...and now is full of blossoms again. And the Cherokee has made it past the first rung on is cage and has buds. The other red cherry has buds also...A

Hi Ron and Alexandra, Thanks for sharing the picture of these tomato plants. We planted some last year, and had gotten only a couple of tomatoes off of them. Maybe we will try something like this.
Every time I see posts about tomato plants I think of my father and his failed Tomato project, Endre
Morning Alexandra.
For this year I'm all in. Hopefully I'll get me fill of tomatoes.
