Oh, those delicious Sun Gold Tomatoes!

"Little Birds of Summer"

(Sun Gold)

When they were Young and Tender

(Early Summer)

Sun Gold (grape-size) Tomatoes in our garden, late July.

Green Peppers, two kinds of Tomatoes (Super Steak and Burpee's Big Boy)

-- plus squash and pole beans in the back

Green tomatoes ("Super Steak"), growing every day now!

Beauty and Anticipation -- A Story of Summer

THE DOER

Today I’m feeling tired, but
There’s much, so-o-o much to do…
Some things I must, some things I ought,
And some I want to do!

To mow the lawn, or water beds
Of flowers now getting dry…
To hoe tomatoes, peppers, too,
Or give composting a try?

The beauty outside this time of year,
Is rejuvenating, though;
The sun is high, and summer’s breeze
Just now begins to blow.

Forget you’re tired! I seem to hear --
Get up, and go, and do
Those things you must, or ought, or want, --
Your spirit thus renew!

-- Poet Les (6-19-2007)

Companion Planting -- tomatoes and onions. Do you think it will work? These tomatoes are the "Sun Gold" variety, and "we like 'em!"
