I am some what of a tomato snob in that I like my tomatoes fresh. Therefore, I get my fill of tomatoes in the summer, and my tomatoes are finally coming in!
This is my first ripe tomato ...
This is my first ripe tomato ...
which I promptly made this ...
I also love them on biscuits!
This is what my tomato plants started out like ...
And now they look like this ...
I think I may have planted too much in one spot. Who knew that you are suppose to pinch off the suckers? Well, I do now and will use that knowledge next year. As I was talking to my grandmother about my garden, I told her that next year will be better. She said the same, and I was so relieved that my grandmother is still working on perfecting her garden!
Romas are really coming in!
As well as my Better Boys!
So, I'm sure that when I start back to school, these beauties will be ready, and my learning how to can will be starting!
Do you think I can go to the local nursing home and find me a sweet older lady who can come and teach me?
We shall see!
Tomatoes are my FAVORITE food! My grandfather sent me a ton of ripe tomatoes last month that I had to do something with quick so we had BLTs, homemade tomato soup, fresh salsa,... It was great:) {I think I'm a snob too about those things!}
ReplyDeleteThat is one thing Terry and I both agree on — we hate tomatoes. lol But everyone else on both sides of our families LOVE them. You and your green thumb are producing some great produce!
