Each year people eagerly await the first tomatoes. And they expect us to have them the same time each year. Unfortunately tomatoes work with the weather, not the calendar! Tomatoes like hotter weather, but not too hot. These wonderful, cool nights for sleeping mean that the tomatoes are slower to bloom and ripen than some years.
Each day Ken is opening and closing the greenhouse to keep it warm, but not too hot. I keep thinking of Goldilocks who wanted her porridge not too hot, not too cold, but just right!
I am just so happy it has not been so hot that the blossoms drop and there is no fruit!
