tomatoes in my garden

The roma tomatoes are a bit selfish in giving out fruit this season. The cherry tomatoes, on the other hand, couldn't be much happier in welcoming me to the garden—they're multiplying like rabbits.

my daily pick of cherry tomatoes

finally, a roma tomato sighting!

A while back, I said that I forgot to label my tomatoes so in my garden I didn't know which is which. I've only ever seen the cherry tomatoes so I'm still to witness roma tomatoes in there.

Oh, did I forget to mention that I grew too many tomatoes from seeds this spring and gave the ones I didn't need to J, my kumpare?

(Kumpare is a Filipino word that refers to the father of your godchild--a generic name used for each other to signify the baptismal ties. Of course, the female counterpart is a kumare, so I'm J's kumare.)

So I don't know if I had romas or not.

Finally, I discovered I had one roma tomato plant in my vegetable garden!

my first roma tomato fruit for this spring's growing season

The discovery was fueled when I was staking in supports for my growing tomatoes.

tomatoes finally staked. i took a long while to get round to
this task so some of the tomatoes were already
bending (see far right, bottom plant)

I hope there's not just the one, otherwise we'll have a glut of cherry tomatoes in our house and J would have a surfeit of roma tomatoes in his, heh.

cherry tomatoes and green beans emerging

Yesss! Cherry tomatoes and green beans, in my garden, they are a-springing.

(Ooooh, bad rhyme but I'm happy.)

obviously, these are cherry tomatoes. i still have yet to see
where the roma tomatoes are.

methinks the cherry tomatoes that i got are the early varieties.

some honest-to-goodness cherry tomato fruits. now, i'm hoping they
ripen up quick so i can sample them. (i believed tomatoes
were apples until i was in kindergarten, owing to the
fact that the real apples were way expensive in 70s Philippines.

some pretty serious flowers from my green beans. 

green beans, they are a-emerging...hope they grow long
not stunted.  the first time i grew them, i harvested plenty of
2-inch long dwarfish beans!
