I don't know what a bumper is, but maybe this is it. Somehow the tomatoes know to want to be picked during the work week, rather than the weekends. I'm hoping this batch lasts til Friday afternoon, so that i can give salsa-making a try! The only thing i'm lacking at this point is jalapenos, i planted those too late and they are not ready to pick yet...but plenty of peppers and onions, and a nice array of tomatoes.
The thing i love is the variety. I about died when i reached down into the mass of plants and pulled out a neon orange tomato!! Too bad the plant markers are too buried to find, but i will definitely take note and try to buy that variety again, i've never grown yellow/orange tomatoes before! I think most of these are heirloom variety tomatoes, but that must have been something my grandma missed out on. I thought of her yesterday, i wonder if she and the Lord are watching me with pleasure, that i really am not so far from the vine after all :))
