Progress on This Year's Tomato Plants for Tomato Tuesday

Things have gotten way too busy for me and my family lately. So much so that it has been hard to post regularly here. At least I have Tomato Tuesday to bring me back to Garden Desk
no matter what else is going on.

The garden is giving us an unlimited supply of squashes and cucumbers right now, but no ripe tomatoes yet.

Usually by this time my extra early tomatoes are ripe. My earliest red tomato in the past was on June 5th. This year I'm hoping that my "Fourth of July" tomatoes will at least live up to their name. Here is what they look like now:

The rest of the tomato plants are even smaller with almost now tomatoes forming yet.

All of them were planted late this year due to our unusual spring weather. Lastly I have my Japanese Tomato Ring tomatoes that were not even planted until June. They are a little bigger than when I showed them last week.

Even though all of these tomato plants are smaller than normal for this time of year, I still have high hopes that they will give us great tomatoes when they do finally ripen.

What about you? Do you have ripe tomatoes yet? Are you on your normal tomato schedule or was your planting delayed this year as well? I would love to hear from you in a comment below. Of course if you have written about your tomatoes recently, link to it with the mister linky below so we can all come read your tomato post. Then consider adding a Tomato Tuesday banner like this one to your site.

Please read about my tomato scare with Roundup on my blog at http://giantveggiegardener.com. I used some Roundup on the property 100 feet away from the vegetable garden on a non windy day and it vaporized becaue of the heat and went down to the garden. Scary. Be careful..
