Not much but is honest work. The taste is absolutely delicious!

    Nothing beats garden tomatoes. Mine usually go out of control and produce more than I can eat but for some reason didn’t do well this year.

      I think it’s the heat. My mom usually grows lots of different veggies but this year only some of her tomatoes survived.

        Here in Portugal the tomato wasn’t yielding that well this year if it makes you feel any better. This weather is fucked up, I’m a gardener, and I see the plants are confused, fruit trees giving fruit 4 months before they are supposed to. This climate situation we are going through is very abnormal, and plants can feel it to.

    I’ve harvested my first this week as well (6a). Made some killer BLTs this week, looking forward to more!

    What else did you plant? I went for squash and peppers with the tomatoes for my first try

      Tomatoes are also my first try and currently waiting for a Third round! I also planted Pimiento Habanero, passion fruit, lettuce, basil, coriander, and cannabis being the latter the most difficult one to care for, without a doubt. I have been feeding them home made plant food that I made based on coffee leftovers, ashes, potassium with banana peels and sugar, and some other ingredients that I learnt to use as nutrients. I am very happy with the experience and the result. Still ongoing tbh!
