A last minute addition to my vegetable garden this season was tomatoes. Seeing my first ripe, juicy tomato made me realize that I’d reached a summer milestone that is very important to most gardeners. There are more than 250 varieties of tomatoes. Did you know that tomatoes support healthy eye sight, cardiovascular health, cancer fighting and more due to a high concentration of nutrients and antioxidants? I will be utilizing my tomatoes in combination with my jalapeno peppers for salsa. Sow seeds indoors 6 – 8 weeks before the last frost. The seeds should germinate in 6 – 14 days. Plant them 18 – 24 inches apart. Enjoy!
