Just a few pictures of the first picking of my tomato harvest. 

 I picked more on the first picking but this is just a picture of a few of them.  Since then I have picked much more.   When I first planted the plants in the ground last May they didn't look like much.  With a lot of work, water and help from above it has been a wonderful harvest. 
Notice how the tomatoes aren't ripe.  I always pick the tomatoes when they start to turn.  The tomatoes will ripen inside and it will help to bring on the other tomatoes on the vine for a better harvest.
The growing season here isn't very long so I need to make sure I get the most out of the tomato plants. 
Below you will see various tomatoes.  I planted heritage tomatoes, roma tomatoes, early girl and also some cherry tomato plants.  I experiment every year and am not afraid to try new ones.
