We are overjoyed that the summer rains seem to have finally come. Eventhough it’s been summer for quite some time, nothing really grows until the rain starts falling. My vegetable garden is no exception. Tomatoes are only starting to ripen now and the rocket, true to it’s name, is shooting out everywhere. My personal favourite this season is the ‘Balsak’* tomato. I bought the naughty sounding seeds from livingseeds.com and they got the seeds from a farmer in South Africa. The tomatoes are still very green but bigger than my fits. I wonder who‘s balsak it was named after?
