Setting up home in a new country is going to be challenging. A bit like trying to cook a meal in someone else's kitchen. Maybe. This is a record of my experiences as I pack up my old life in England and start a new one in Ontario, Canada, with the aim of becoming more self-sufficient.

Congrats~ I ate my first one on my camping trip! It was sure yummy. They always are after such a long wait:-D
Oh those look wonderful. Black cherry is one of my favorite tomatoes. Mine isn't ripe quite yet, but I see it start to blush so I'll be eating them soon. I'm growing some Ottawa Gardener seeds too, but mine are dried beans. They seem to be doing quite well right now but the harvest won't come for quite a while.
Yes mine having started coming too. Always a high spot in the year!
Woo hoo! Congratulations, and may you soon have many more.
Wonderful tomatoes ... now I am thinking of growing tomato soon!!

Hmmm... here in the UK mine are all stubbornly remaining green. Is this one of the reasons you left blighty?
Your tomatoes are just beautiful!
Oh, lovely! And now you're WAY ahead of me on ripe tomatoes. ENJOY!!!
These all look lovely. Are most of them heirloom varieties? I was just reading some of these names in the online seed catalog for Terra Edibles, who specialize in heirloom varieties.
Thanks everyone! Yes, the chance of getting ripe tomatoes every year instead of one in four was a factor in our move to this part of the world. ;-)
And yes, Helen, these are heirloom tomatoes, so I should be able to save seed from them all for next year.
