Sungold Tomato
The first in an ongoing series – Exploring Tomatoes
WOW!! What a tomato! Introduced by Thompson and Morgan seed growers in 1992, Sungold is new to me this year. While at Tomatomania some home gardeners were extolling the plant’s virtues, and am I ever glad I was there to listen in. “You won’t believe how sweet it is.” “You will get tons.” “Pretty hardy.” That’s what I heard, and it was enough for me. This tomato is all that and more.
The fruit is borne on long trusses, and each of my Sungold tomatoes weighs between 1/4 and 1/2 ounce. My plant, which I put in the ground in April is already taller than I am. They are so sweet you will eat them out of hand, so if you plan to use them in a recipe, set them away from all the snackers in your home!
I hope you will be able to find some Sungolds this season. Check out your local Farmer’s Markets. I bet you will get lucky.

My Urban Garden

This is just the greatest time of year. My garden is anticipation central – tremendous bounty is about to come. It’s the garden I work in every day. It’s the garden for which my neighbors give thanks. It’s the garden my friends envy. Each morning I go to my backyard to inspect it (one must be vigilant in one’s garden), tend the plants and soil (one must keep one’s garden neat, clean and free of debris), and generally check things out. I see that the tomatoes and vegetables are growing bigger, and many of them are beginning to turn from green to their final glorious hues. Whether they will be striped, gold, yellow, orange, red, lilac, purple, brown, white or almost black, it is now that nature begins to reveal her deft hand.
