Kind of a shame that I just didn’t have the spoons to try growing more decent tomatoes this year.

I also got kind of fed up with the results in this climate, especially with the big ugly Real Tomato™ heirloom varieties I tried. Even starting them out under cover, they kept taking forever to ripen–and too often with a taste and texture like they’d been grown in a refrigerator. I’m stubborn enough that I kept trying different things for like 10 years anyway.

Something tells me that they’d do much better in the wacky weather this year, though. Sustained heatwave here is feeling a lot like normal summer back home. (Minus anything being set up to cope with it less miserably.) It hasn’t even been getting colder at night than they like! 😮
