I am not into fancy gourmet restaurant meals. Natures fruit picked ripe from a garden is the gourmet experience, I crave.

I had never grown Patio Tomatoes before. I bought one to try this year, planted it in my courtyard, near my bath.  lol, J Now I have the decadent experience of reclining in a bath in my courtyard garden, under a shade canopy, reaching out and picking ripe patio tomatoes and snow peas and eating them fresh plucked. J.  Now that is my idea of fine dining. J

 I had not realized what a small compact bush they made or how early, the fruit would ripen.

By mid November, I have been harvesting salad vegetables from my garden.

Next year I plan a border of Patio Tomatoes, they are an attractive easy to grow, productive border plant.  

The taste of home grown produce, picked ripe from the bush,  eaten within moments of plucking can hardly be equalled.
