When I read the title of your post I thought, “How the heck is she harvesting tomatoes already?” Secretly (okay, not so secretly now) relieved that you’re not all that far ahead of me…

I was shocked that all of my tomatoes are showing their first couple fruits this year. I didn't do much variety shopping - just whatever was at the local produce mart - but ended up with 'Early Girl' (both of which were the last to get fruit except the Roma, ironically), 'Roma' , 'Yellow Pear', and 'Sweet Million'. I bought plants this year, but next year will try to work from seed. I brought my first all-garden salad (except the dressing) into work today - 3 types of lettuce, snap peas, and strawberries.

It has been raining and raining and raining here... for over a month. I wish the sun would come out! My warm-weather plants could really use it! Lucky you!

Your pictures are great. Can't wait to try your Pasta with Citrusy Tomatoes recipe. Yummy! I get thrilled when I see the first sign of tomato blossoms and the first hint of tiny tomatoes.

Even those who have gardened for a long time may have an occasional rough year. Don't get discouraged. Keep gardening! Your persistence will pay off. :) Kumar, I’m sure Willi will agree, gardening isn’t so easy sometimes for beginners. Even those who have gardened for a long time may have an occasional rough year.

My tomatoes are doing well, I have bambinos(cherry) and plum tomatoes that I have been thinking for a month are on the brink of turning color, but then they just get bigger! I started everything from seed this year, and the plants seem to be doing so much better than last year, although that is probably just because of the great weather.

Btw, you are doing a great job at your garden and portraying it here. I think my gardening attempts have failed this summer. All the plants and very tiny, and they are tuning yellow. Tomatoes are still very small, so are zucchini's, peas and beans. Last year I had a small plot and grew a decent crop, this time, I expanded and only to find it fail. While I am not giving up. It would be great to hear from you on how I can "fix" my current situation...and it would be fantastic, if you can stop by when passing by Kirkland. Very disappointed, hard working and a nature admiring gardener, Kumar Willi,
