Cherry tomatoes

It’s been a good year for cherry tomatoes. I tucked them in amongst phlox and rudbeckia along the sidewalk where they get a bit more sun then other places in my garden. I used these to trellis this year. They are both sturdy and attractive and I love how easy they fold up for storage.

A few weeks back I had noticed many clusters of almost ripe fruit on the plants. When I went out a few days later for a taste there were none to be found. I chalked it up to dog walkers until Norah fessed up to being the tomato thief. I beat her to it this week!

I am aware that I am teasing you in this post with shots of the almost finished back porch. There are a few tasks still to be completed so I will save it all for it’s very own post. Soon I promise!
