I ate some home grown salad today! I have been ripening the last of my heritage tomatoes 'Jubilee' on a windowsill for a couple of weeks along with my last two greenhouse cucumbers. Blogging is a great way to measure important dates in the gardening year, I ate my first ripe tomato on June 18th this year. That almost makes for a full 6 months of eating tomatoes fresh from the garden! Now it will just be the ghastly, tasteless supermarket tomatoes for the next 6 months.
