I was told to quit watering my tomatoes, and they would start to get ripe. So, I have not watered them for about a work week.
I picked. And picked. And picked some more... The tiny ones, you look at them funny and you'll get a dozen toms. I must have pulled a crazy face, because there were a fairly good bowl full!
The bigger ones were finally coming on, too. I have one, the tomato is bigger than my palm. I had to pick a little green, however, since it's going to rain on Tuesday. I go to all the trouble of growing the things, I don't want them cracking and turning to mush...
So, I have been busy.
Oh, and the acorn squash and pumpkins are looking pretty good too!

Home grown tomatoes -- tomato sandwiches, tomato pie, tomato in salads, tomato salsa, pick a few green ones to fry, how nice it must be to have a green thumb.
ReplyDeleteI use them mostly as soup bases. Now my mom,
ReplyDeleteshe is the one that would wear out a tomato cookbook.
Don't know if she still does, but she used to make green fried tomatoes.
I try and supply as many as I can!
