Fresh Tomatoes

Tomatoes in a bowlWhat a day! It all seemed better when I came home from work to find there were heaps of ripe tomatoes on my bushes.

It has been a battle with the intense heat, lack of heat, lack of water (for a little bit), too much water, mealy bug attack, caterpillar attack… the list goes on, but I got there in the end.

What to do with so many beautiful fruit?

    Canning!!!

    It’s so nice to hear about people harvesting fresh produce while I’m waiting for the soil to unfreeze. Being overwhelmed by tomatoes that actually taste good would be awesome about now. We’re still two months from planting! Sigh.

    Over all thing I guess is about the feeling of accomplishment and the fact that what you are eating is something that you sowed. Good for all the vegetarians.

    I love eating grandmother’s tomatoes and I’m glad to see other people so much into tomatoes
