We are no La Tomatina, (and here) but our tomatoes have started producing. I am smug (few friends have as good a crop) and so expect some disaster to cut the full crop at the knees (rainy, cold September, perhaps?).We also have daily cucumbers, and a last minute crop of spring onions and some sweet red peppers, too. Shown in the basket are Bloody Butchers (tasty fruit, but disappointingly un-bloody) and a collection of Sweet Millions, Sweet 100s, and Sungolds (all cherry tomatoes). Delicious! (The Brandywines and Celebrities have not reddened yet, and we've only had two Paul Robeson, which we ate before I could photograph it.)

We are jealous.
Tomato blight (possibly from Home Depot) has almost wiped out the MA crop this year.
Beautiful. My mouth waters. Grief for fields of dying tomato plants here.
I'd send you some if they'd last. We have such a potentially huge crop of Romas (5 or 6 dozen are on the plant) that we'll be making vats of spaghetti sauce for freezing.
I'm starved (sigh) and can't eat much right now, and a tomato sandwich (lightly toasted bread, a hint of mayonnaise) ... oh, that would be delight! Hopefully within a day or two I can resume eating acidic food!
