So I harvested my beautiful garden and came up with about 20lbs of tomatoes, a meals worth of beet tops, enough swiss chard for a few meals, lettuce, some carrots, a tiny corn on the cob and a few peas that we had missed. I left most of the carrots and beets in the ground, they’ll be fine for a few more weeks and might get a bit bigger…I would have liked to let my tomatoes stay on longer but we’ve been having frost at night so they had to come in. I’ve got them in a dark cool place and I’ll get to enjoy some green fried tomatoes before they ripen. The bigger question of the day is what am I going to do with all those tomatoes??? Most of them are cherry tomatoes, that’s the ones I’m stumped on. The other ones I’m going to can or freeze…got to talk to Mom about that one! So if you have any great ideas for cherry tomatoes let me know!
Here are some pictures I snapped of my bounty! Look at all those tomatoes! Don’t you wish you lived closer so I could share???
