We've finally got tomatoes! Aren't they pretty? I've had a few ripe here and there and I've eaten WAY more bacon and tomato sandwiches than is healthy. I actually switched to turkey bacon after eating a couple pounds of bacon by myself. That wasn't in one meal, of course, though I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility. I do love bacon. But now, the real harvest begins!
All six of my plants survived this year so we are swimming in tomatoes! I picked almost 20 lbs of tomatoes yesterday! I just weighed them. I'm not exaggerating. That's more tomatoes than I've ever had at once and there's more on the vines that will be ripe this week.
Unfortunately, I'm the only person in this house who likes tomatoes. The guys will eat them in sauces but they don't like them raw, unless it's on a taco and we can only eat so many tacos! So, this year, I'm going to try freezing them. It seems easy enough. Wish me luck!

Let me know if you want to borrow my saucer. I'll even come help you! You don't have to peel them that way. (I hate that job!)
IF I make it up in a couple of weeks, I'll bring some back with me. You could make some fried green tomatoes too. Yum!!
ooooooohhhhhhh - don't forget peanut butter, tomato, salt & pepper on toast! And, grandma used to cut them up in a bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Double yum! Maybe you should just send me some - it doesn't work with store bought tomatoes & I've never figured out (nor cared to) the planting schedule in FL. (they'd just blow away anyway - LOL)
S's mom and dad would LOVE some home grown tomatoes. He's recovering from surgery you know.
