My Earth Day celebration. I already have a slew of tomatoes coming up in the garden, but I felt like planting a few more today.
This planter was an old fountain barrel that developed a leak. The tomatoes are grape and cherry tomatoes, and a “Dona” tomato (gotta love that name!) that I haven’t tried before, but the description sounds good:
This excellent variety was bred by the French specifically for their customers in markets, where flavor and quality standards are uncompromising. Slightly flattened, almost seedless, round tomato with a sweet/acid balance (just like the commercial hybrid) that few modern tomatoes can match. The heavily producing plants yield 6 ounce, juicy fruits that are smooth, meaty, and deep-red in hue. Good disease resistance.
