Get ready for my whole personality to be tomatoes, in case that wasn't clear already!

This week we finally got all the seedlings in the ground and I am champing at the bit to get them pruned after they've settled in. This year I plan to finally take individual photos of each variety in addition to photos of the abundance we'll hopefully get, so we can refer back with more clarity in the years to come.

Planting our tomato garden is one of my most cherished traditions and one I'm constantly learning from - pruning techniques, seed saving, growing structures, flavour enhancement, new favourite recipes. I'm excited to taste some new varieties and I'm hoping our harvest starts earlier for some of our plants.

Do you have a summer tradition you love? Or a favourite tomato variety? Mine is currently Blue Cream Berries.
