Well, it's been about a short 12 days since my last post when flowers were starting to form on my tomato plants (started from seed) and already I've been starting to pop those 'oh so sweet' yellow grape tomatoes! Only a handful at this point but the loaded stems of flowers promise a long lasting taste sensation.
Weather here in Western Ontario Canada has been excessively dry and hot. In Wingham Ontario last week, a temperature monitor at a school I was visiting read 39 deg C....I can't ever remember a day that hot. And at 31 today, it is promising a humidex of 48 deg C by the end of the week. Although tomatoes like to dry out a bit and don't like wet feet, don't forget to water them during the drought. After all, that luscious watery juice inside needs to come from somewhere!
Hope your project is starting to take shape. Don't forget to start weighing your harvest!
