Just one day without picking and I have filled two colanders and a bowl. More roasted Roma tomatoes in the oven. Their wonderful aroma fills the kitchen.I am beginning to wish I had picked some of them green and made my green tomato chutney. I'm now stuffing tomatoes with squash instead of squash with tomatoes!

Wow! That's a tomato.
ReplyDeleteWe only had about an inch and a half of rain here. But, it cooled it off, for working in the garden this morning.
The roasted Romas, look delicious.
~~Linda...
Can't wait till my kitchen looks like yours! Here in Northern Calif. we just started actually having summer weather finally so things are a little behind this year, but on their way!
ReplyDeleteHOLY COW! That's a beauty, for sure.
ReplyDeleteI gave up on regular tomatoes this year, and just did romas and cherries. Small but mighty---I have dozens and dozens of each, and am giving them away to my garden impaired neighbors.
Lind- Can you believe it. I weighed it just out of curiosity.
ReplyDeleteFerne-I remember when we lived in canada we couldn't plant until May 24th We always had pounds of tomatoes- just a little later.
Lisa- I always grow the romas, mainly for cooking. They are so good roasted. I am restricted to nematode resistant varieties but Celebrity always performs well.
WOW...what a tomato!!! Awesome! Those Romas look so delicious! Ooh-la-la!!! Neat bunch of garlics too! Growing is so rewarding!
ReplyDeleteRuth- Tomatoes seem to be my great success. My granddad used to grow them in England, in his garage, He put in a window and had planter boxes. Amazing how things perk up after a rain especially when there has been lightening.
ReplyDeleteJulie- I'm very happy with the tomato crop and my first garlic crop. Just bought 2 garlics and now have 15. More next year, I think.
I anxiously await the tomatoes in my garden. It will be awhile yet, here in Ohio, especially since I planted late. Your tomatoes look delicious and take a look at the big boy! That's a tomato that would feed a family four!
ReplyDeleteTeresa- I hope you have a bountiful crop this year. Nothing like a home grown tomato.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of BLT's. Hope your knee is feeling better. The garden looks to have hit its summer stride, both flowers and vegetables.
ReplyDeleteDenise-Funnily enough I did have a BLT yesterday. I have also been eating a lot of yummy tomato sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteYum yum yum, now I need to start some garlic. And your tomatoes are so impressive, do you have special plans for the 1 lb one?
ReplyDeleteTina- No plans for the tomato as yet. I'm afraid like all things that get too large its flavor may be disappointing. We'll see.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous garlic and tomatoes!
