Taking it slow, picking flowers and veggies

A basketful of flowers is a beautiful harvest! Thanks for sharing the display of petals!

Just wow, the flowers are so beautiful! Would be interested to know more of your tomato varieties, your review, and recommendations.

We generally like tomatoes with lower acidity, so Brandywine and Kellogg’s Breakfast are varieties we’ve grown the last few years. Sungolds and Juliet for cherry/plum type tomatoes. Then Romas for paste tomatoes. Another one that’s mostly for fun is Black Beauty, which is novel and produces earlier than our other heirloom types. We’ve tried a lot of varieties but those are my top choices this year :)

We had our first frost on the East Coast of Ireland last week. My 500 dahlia plants are toast😢

Oh no that’s frustrating! Is your climate warm enough to leave the tubers in ground? I start stressing about early frosts this time of year even though we ‘usually’ get another month or so before freezing.
