Grow a variety of heirloom tomatoes
I love, love, love tomatoes and people are always so happy when you give them a gorgeous tomato just because. I always start the tomatoes from seed in my kitchen window and when they are big enough, I walk them over to the community garden and plant them.
I grow heirloom tomatoes of all varieties. I do love ‘Black Krim’. They are dark red with black stripes and they look so cool on a salad! ‘Brandywine’ yellow and red tomatoes are big, thick and juicy. The red ones are really meaty and have a slight spice to them. And everyone should try growing ‘Green Zebra’– which are fully green when they are ready. So cool.
Editor’s Note: Terry-Lyn is the first to be featured in our series on community gardeners in GardenWise Magazine – see our Early Spring issue, out at the end of February, to learn how she helped to create a community garden in her own East Vancouver neighbourhood – and for more on the amazing food she grows in her 100 square-foot plot.
