My garden is teeny-tiny.

3 boxed tomato cages and a few containers of which I planted a few annuals and some basil.  I planted lettuce seeds too but the rain washed the seeds away. I am going to have to try something different with the next sowing.

My ex always planted several plants per cage.  This year I planted one of each kind.

A cherry tomato kind for summer salads.
A plum kind for bruschetta,  
and a slicing kind for cabrese salad, or sandwiches

The cages are a handy martha creation, made from steel grid wire that is used to pave the streets with. Astounding in that they provide hearty support. They are quite tall and roomy around

Wonderful for your eye as they look rather marvelous, as Martha's creations often do. My ex made these for me a few springtimes ago.  

Speaking of martha, she had an advertising presence at a local and very nice farmers market this past week a few suburbs away. I had a friend join me thinking it was going to be a martha siting, but no she must be recoverying from the guests she had at her farm. We got a spiffy bag with her magazine in it.  It was pretty darn silly of me to think that Martha would have come to this little market.  I'll tell you though their market sure beat the one we have in our town.

This is a really fun and unusual recipe for cherry tomatoes


I am really digging my new camera



This is the slicing variety




The cherries are grow in these wonderful clusters



 
the cherry tomatoes ripen in clusters, just enough for our dinner salad
