Sowing in Suburbia

Are we still doing this?

Haven’t sown a single seed. Chaos everywhere. But… asparagus 🤷🏻‍♀️

Current mood 🖤🍊

I’m considering taking a bite of one of these at this point

The end of summer: a harvest

I’ve been working on removing most of summer veggies from the garden like the tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and beans—earlier than I normally do. I’m ready for the season to be over. But, I might plant some lettuce….

It’s wild we can just grow these…

The weekend

I found a new must-grow tomato this year:

Apricot Zebra 🧡

Green Zebra has always been one of my favorites. So, naturally I wanted to try an orange version.

As you can see, the Apricot Zebra tomatoes are a smaller, golf ball size. They were also ripe much earlier and have been plenty productive.

But omg the flavor is so good… one of the best I’ve tried 🤤

Was it worth the mosquito bites?

Yes.

🖤

This tomato is trying hard to win the #1 spot on my list:

Ananas Noire 🍅

Don’t ask me why it’s also known as Black Pineapple, but this variety consistently puts out ~1 pounders. And the marbled color + perfect flavor is 🔥

I fell asleep last night before I could post this for 🍅 but I had my first tomato sandwich yesterday.

Cherokee Purple is always the first of the big tomatoes to ripen. It’s also in my top 3 for flavor.

May your weekend be as bright as this harvest ☀️

I grew this (and so could you)
