This is an unabashedly bragadocious post about my tomatoes and peppers. My friend and gardener extraordinaire, Linda, gave me some of her tomato starts last spring and they are brilliant and perfect. The rest of the tomatoes were miracle volunteers and they are all cherry tomatoes, as suspected.
My favorites are Gold Nugget and one Linda had marked as “Brandywine?” But it isn’t a Brandywine….cause it doesn’t look like this. The mater does, however, have Brandywinesque leaves. They seem to be a bit prone to blossom end rot. Perhaps a calcium deficiency…Anyway, it is pictured in the very bottom image. Anyone? It is delicious, meaty, not seedy and slightly sweet.
All that heat paid off (kinda. it still sucked really bad).

Wow you have every right to brag. Those tomatoes are gorgeous. And the peppers, well they are too. I could goggle those tomatoes like candy. XOXO J

Gosh your plants look so healthy for being the end of summer/beginning of fall! Hope you guys are having clearer, smoke-free days now…
And I appreciate the made-up-ness of the word bragadocious. Very nice.
Your photos are great, Nicole. And also in your previous post of the hike I love the grasses.
I think I said it before, but I’ll say it again just in case: I’m jealous.
Gorgeous! There’s really nothing better than freshly picked tomatoes. Nothing. Quintessential summer.
