I was so set to share my homegrown tomatoes with Dearest Sister. We had ONE! The rest just sat on the vine, refusing stubbornly to ripen one whit.
Stupid tomatoes. (Not really. I take that back. I love my tomatoes. Please don't tell them I said that.)
Dearest Sister and I did share the one, each of us having a delicious BLT, when everyone else was out and about, and it was very yummy, indeed. We didn’t share with anyone else. I made homemade chocolate chip cookies, and homemade ice cream, and we had fresh corn on the cob while everyone was here, and…and…and…we don’t have to share my one tomato if no one else is around! Gosh.
Monday, the day Dearest Sister left? I picked two. Go figure.
I have 2 little finger sized zuchinnis that I will probably pick this week-end. I also have had some beautiful pumpkin blooms, and a wonderful vine, but no fruit there, or on the yellow squash plant. Might get some, might not.
I spent a good deal of time outside in the yard on Tuesday, deadheading and weeding. That felt very good. July was busy, and some things had gone a little wild. At least a portion of the yard is back in control. My intent was to continue around the beds last night, but darn it, we had rain! It was the first real moisture we have had in about 30 days, so I put up with it. I might get some work outside done today.
Or not.
Yay! Horray! Real tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteI've just picked my first too.
I am so jealous of your tomatoes. I had to give up because of the dog and pesky squirrels. Savor one for me.
ReplyDeleteI have a ton, a ton I say, of green tomatoes that are ripening ever so slowly. But I have 2 zucchini plants that are threatening to take over the neighborhood. I am going to spend a bit of time tonight shredding zukes for freezing. It makes for a good thickening in homemade soups and stews. Yum.
