Green variety tomato

So this year like all other years, I experiment with new tomatoes.  This year I found one that stays green, which helps keep the birds and squirrels from eating them. My mistake was that I planted all of them and then forgot which tomato plant was which. This tomato has been growing for some time now and it never hinted at turning red, so I decided to go ahead a pick it today. If anything, I can make some fried green tomatoes.

 It's a little bigger than a baseball.  The grape tomatoes are doing well.  I harvest about 7-10 every other day.  Roasted them and made some fresh salsa with the jalapeños from the garden.  Just wish I had some cilantro. In between two growing cycles. First batch has gone to seed,

second batch was too small

and used up within a week, and the third batch is just starting to sprout.

We love cilantro in this house!!

Reuseing the bucket system with a modification to help keep the mosquito population down. 

Bottom bucket is the reservoir from which the top bucket feeds from.   Things doing well in buckets are spearmint, marigolds, cilantro, basil. Here is a combo bucket containing a tomato plant, cucumber plant, and some marigolds.

Get dirty and keep on gardening!
