Nothing like fresh grown tomatoes. I cannot eat enough during the summer months.

I'm the same way. Still haven't had a BLT. I ought to be ashamed of myself. A bunch of those will hang off a piece of bread on all 4 sides.
Need calcium to stop the blossom end rot and some number 8's or rat shot for the other. lol

Have several ready to pick. My wife has eaten a couple already. Will be making salsa and sauce soon.
I can't get enough. Salt and pepper, room temperature. I eat them until the acid causes sores in my mouth.

That looks great. I've never had much luck with bell peppers. Yours are nice.
What variety tomatoes? Mine are all heirloom except for a few Big Boys.

Those are yolo wonder bells. I usually cut in manure when I work the ground, think it helps. I am not sure which plants she picked those tomatoes from, they are either jet star or better boy, or may be some of both.

Picked these this morning. Jet stars on the left and better boy on the right. Should have more than this ready to pick in less than a week.
How do you guys get these perfect maters with no splitting? Mine seem to split before they ripen in the vine.
my garden right now looks like i planted it in hell. pretty much only 1" of rain since the first of june.
my daughters well is having symptoms of going dry so i havent been watering much.

Been way too dry this year. If not for watering, our garden would be toast. All our plants aside from green beans are doing ok, and tomatoes are producing well.
Told my wife to stop me next year when I insist on doing a garden. I can grow everything but a tomato. Had the best looking plants I've ever had in May. Picked cherry tomatoes like crazy in June and now nada. My few big tomatoes I had growing either split or got taken out by animals.
