Out in the garden picking suckers from the tomato plants....probably my fave garden job because I leave smelling just like a tomato plants and, for me, there could be no better parfum. (I've even tried making a tincture of tomato leaves so I could smell so green year round but haven't had a success yet.) While out with the tomatoes I took a tally of their progress. Almost all of the 28 varieties are flowering and a number are setting fruit. The only ones to lag behind a bit are Brown Sugar, Black Giant, Japanese Black Trifele, Pink Oxheart, Red Cherry and Yellow Pear but I have no doubt that with their super healthy plants they won't be far behind!

Even thought these are the "nano" variety they have some of the biggest fruit set so far! Fine by me!

I have a feeling these will be one of our most prolific varieties.
Your tomatoes are beautiful. As for the parfum (perfume)...we have a candle on our kitchen counter...homemade by some fabulous crafter...TOMATO! Year round? Nothing better. I just don't burn candles unless it's summer...Amazing how scent brings forth such connection and stores it in our memory banks for the future.
@PrinceSnow: Wow, tomato scented candle...I need to find out how this "fabulous crafter" extracted the scent! @krandolph: the Umbrian sun is working its magic on the garden but working my last nerve; 2 straight weeks of 95+ weather and super humidity and I feel like I've been hit by a truck.
