Checked on the garden this morning. I am so ready for these. (Now I smell like lemon verbena, yum). #TeamMcNieceGardens #garden #yyj #VictoriaBC #greenthumb #pnw #heresmyfood #homegrown

It’s early August, and I’m already fearing the tomato harvest. I have a feeling everything will ripen at once and I will be scrambling to freeze and preserve as fast as I can. Not that I really want to complain – the reason I dedicated half my garden to tomatoes this year is how delicious they are when picked perfectly ripe. I only hope I can keep up in eating them. Yum.
