Tomatoes
Last year we collected 40-something tomatoes from our six plants. We were so proud of our little collection when we visited my aunt in Iowa with them. We ended up canning five 5-gallon buckets full of tomatoes with her. She’s on sabbatical this year; so, I don’t think we’re going to impinge on her. But, we have a lot more tomatoes this year and we need to come up with something to do with them. I think maybe I’ll make some salsa soon since we have a variety of peppers. But, at some point, we’ll need to can them.
We picked about a dozen tomatoes last night. The squirrels have probably eaten or spoiled half again that many. It is pretty amazing that no matter where you live, you can almost always grow tomatoes.
