I grew German Green tomatoes one year. Thank heavens for the birds. They knew when they were ripe but I couldn't work it out.
So we shared.
And, on my bench right now is the first home grown tomato of our village. My neighbour gives me his first (his are much better than mine), and in return I give him the first ripe peaches from my tree. It is a nice little ritual we have going...

I've got some more seedings underway, so maybe they will be ready when the tomatoes are in full flight. If they do - birds and bugs took half my tomato plants, so I've let the selfsets have their own way...what will I get ?My favourite all year round crop. So useful, tasty leaves and even better roots! Gorgeous roasted, and really good grated raw into a salad.
