Lovely looking tomatoes 🍅 😋
Here in Warwick UK I've just picked the last few.
Funnily enough, I've just been chatting to my friend on Gabriola Island, and he was telling about the earthquakes, and here is a tomato growing earthquake expert! Deserves a follow.

It has been hard up until recently to get a nice photo of sweet little Georgia Joy, as she is almost always on the move. Gabriola Island time gave us lots of opportunities to get out into the wilds, and I caught some images that I like.
