The Coeur d'Alene Coop
Ooooh, I can't live without you! Just a quick peek at today's pickings! Lots of lemon yellow Taxi, a humongous Gloria's Treat (a dwarf plant that produces full-size fruit), a few Gold Medals, the first of the Valdichianas, and assorted cherry types. Images 2,3,4: Cherry Ember, I love the red and orange stripes and Baby Roma. Both are sweet and delicious!#thecoeurdalenecoop #tomatoharvest #summersweettomatoes #summersunshine #homegrowntomatoes ... See MoreSee Less
