- I don’t know about you, but every year I look forward to that first big slicing tomato... and these Park’s Whopper tomatoes are getting so close! I’ve been watching these tomatoes get bigger and bigger, and they’re finally reaching that “wow” size. They’re not blushing yet, but as soon as they start turning yellow, I’ll pick them and let them finish ripening indoors. I’ve found that’s a great way to beat squirrels, birds, and other garden visitors to the harvest. If you’re looking for a classic, large slicing tomato for sandwiches, burgers, or fresh summer salads, Park’s Whopper is definitely one of my favorites. They’re vigorous, productive, and the fruits are impressively large! Who’s else is counting down until that first homegrown tomato of the season? 🍅 #tomatotuesday #tomatoes #growyourownfood #vegetablegarden #growingfood (opens in a new tab) · 2%
- This is an Italian themed gift basket featuring tomatoes! 🍅Perfect for anyone that loves to grow tomatoes or at the very least, enjoys eating tomatoes! We use the carry-all basket all summer to collect tomatoes from the garden, and keep watching to the end to see where we store it and what we put in it, when it's not full of tomatoes! Comment TOMATO for a link to the basket. The little bags holding the basil and tomato plant are from @uashmama.usa #gardengifts #gardengift (opens in a new tab) · 2%
