This morning, I planted my tomatoes (11 plants total, 8 varieties). I interplanted them with Italian basil (6 plants) and marigolds (5 plants). I also sowed nasturtium (Alaska Red Shades). I still have to plant the Thai basil, leeks, curcubites and flowers (strawflowers, gomphrena) as well as sow cilantro and flowers (borage, cosmos, zinnias, more nasturtium). I also harvested my two overwintered leeks. The rhubarb is still going strong (three harvests so far), the garlic looks great and the shallots are coming up as well.
That’s a lot of tomatoes!!
It is a lot! But those are a mix of early, mid-season and late tomatoes, all started from seed the same day. That should ensure tomato harvests from July through late October/early November. Plus, I always make several batches of slow-roasted tomatoes over the season, which I pack in oil and store in the freezer to enjoy all year around. So, I will be using those tomatoes up 🙂
