One of our hobbies is gardening.  Since 2003, we’ve bee planting various tomato plants in Modesto.  We really like planting heirloom tomatoes.

When does the first tomato harvest of the year happen in Modesto, California

The timing of the first ripe tomato in our Modesto backyards is around the beginning of July.  A nice way to celebrate July 4th!  We’ve had friends get pounds of tomatoes even before July.  Our ares of tomato plantings have some shading so it’s probably not as optimal, but it works and fresh harvested tomatoes are delicious!  It’s one of my favorite things to do in our back yard in Modesto, CA.

We usually use raised beds and tomato cages called “Texas Tomato Cages” which has been sturdy for us for the last 10 years, and we leave the cages outside all the time.  I’ve ordered these cages online.

This is what the yellow pear (cherry tomato) looks like today 6-23-13.  They aren't ready yet.  But they seem very prolific.  I grew these before and I got so many of these, I started getting sick of them (as did my neighbors).  We'll see how they do this year - it's a different location and the prolific nature of these probably has to do with location.

Great healthy eating is great for our health and reflects well on our skin.  We do believe that healthy appearing skin starts with great nutrition, and then followed by great sun protection – as you may already know, Zinc is our favorite product in sunscreen.
