When I began working full-time, several things had to go. One of them was the garden. Although we love fresh veg, I did not have the time to do what was necessary. Kent stepped in and took over garden responsibilities. He researched what type of tomatoes were the best for our area and did some shopping to find the varieties of tomatoes he wanted. Tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, or his absolute favorite. Mine too. Who doesn't love a BLT with fresh tomatoes just picked off the vine?
Kent has been very generous in sharing our harvest with the neighbors, including Andrew and Elizabeth Kay. Earlier this year, Andrew brought over some heirloom seeds he had ordered and gifted them to Kent. Andrew thought it would be fun for Kent to try these interesting varieties of tomatoes which he would then share with them. Among the seeds were black tomatoes, which looked super interesting to both of us. I imagine them in caprese salad.
Kent has been planting the seeds and nurturing them along over the past couple of weeks. They have begun to sprout, and he is watering them delicately, hoping for and thinking about future harvest.
