So I went out and picked all the tomatoes, peppers (wasn't sure if the freeze would hurt the peppers, but since I was out there...)and one last cantaloupe. This is what I got off of 3 tomato plants. It's mostly from 2 plants since one never really thrived. I still have to go out there and clean off 2 BIG cherry tomato plants. I think this will be the year I learn how to can salsa.
It's kind of ironic that 2 1/2 plants gave us so many tomatoes when 2 years ago, Chad planted 25 plants (not a typo) and we didn't get nearly this many tomatoes. The country must have a magical effect on us. I still have to pick the pumpkins and butternut squash, but they aren't a big rush. We have a lot of corn stalks to decorate with, too!
I just wish there was a way to keep these tomatoes fresh all winter so that I could keep on enjoying my tomato sandwiches for lunch. Speak of lunch...not sure where we're going to eat today since the table is full of the garden.
Awesome garden pickings! I wish I had something comming out of my garden!
ReplyDeleteI think we got a total of 10 tomatoes from 4 plants. We did have broccoli from the garden for dinner....yum!
ReplyDeleteSo what do you do with the green tomatoes?
ReplyDeleteI better go out and pick all the stuff out of my garden. Oh...Wait...I don't have a garden. I hate gardening. OH well...one less thing I have to do. :) I'll gladly take a jar of your salsa though. I am just that kind of friend.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are AWESOME for having and keeping up with a garden. :) I've always wanted to do it myself. I've planted a couple of things here and there- but never a garden.
ReplyDeleteIt's on my lst of things to do before I die....haha
