Garden Pic Wednesday: Golden Tomatoes!
It's the first week of July! So hot and humid out, yesterday I waited until 3:30 to work outside and mow. I put melon rinds outside in a spot under the shade of our old wooden picnic table for a box turtle living in my backyard someplace. I've seen him come out to munch on rinds before and I find anything I put out demolished every day. I put some watermelon rinds out today and lunch and when I looked again a couple hours later, they were eaten to the skin. Putting rinds out for him to munch helps keep him out of mischief in my garden, because it keeps his little belly full. The day I didn't put rinds out, I found the bottom of a low hanging tomato eaten. I've since brought all the large, low hanging tomatoes into the house to ripen, because I want to be the one to eat them! Today's Garden Pics: First ripe golden tomato! My pretty first tomato of the season! We had this one on several BLT's and it was sooo delicious! Yellow tomatoes are sweet...
