Tami G is a bit larger and not quite as sweet as the other two. I probably will not grow that variety again.

My cherry tomatoes never make it into the house - I eat them in the garden. This ear I grew three varieties - Super Sweet 100s, Tami G, and Sun Gold. I liked the flavor of the Sun Gold the best. The Super Sweet 100s always come up on their own.

The reason I have a crockpot is so that I can cook something without being there or having to watch it. Statistically, I have a feeling that it is more dangerous to drive to the store than leave your crockpot on while you are away from home.

Let's see - Hubby's truck stopped in the middle of the road and had to be towed home and ice maker quit working. I think it has something to do with the "dog days of summer."

Amber and I are both from North Carolina as well. I live in the middle of nowhere between Durham and Danville and Amber is in the Raleigh area. Guess us North Carolinians love our crockpots! I mostly use mine in the winter as well, although I recently stewed a bunch of yellow squash in my...

That explains why everyone around you is picking tomatoes already. You are in a warmer area. We are usually eight to ten degrees cooler here than where you are.

Amber, I live in North Carolina also! I am out in the middle of nowhere north of Durham, about 20 miles from the Virginia border. We have many trees, so my ground takes awhile to warm in the spring, so many of my veggies are later than others around me. This can be discouraging, but I am happy...
