again, as I discover new things.
But the real reason I garden, is for the tomatoes. It's really all about
the tomatoes.
This year, I went a little crazy and planted twenty one tomato plants. I've
had really bad luck in years past with my tomatoes (blight) and I expected
to lose at least half of these to that nasty fungus. I'm just beginning to see
it creep in and I'm putting up a fight.
But I'm still harvesting lots of tomatoes and I'm one happy girl!
Early Girls, Cherry, Brandywine, Mr. Stripey and my all time favorite -
Cherokee Purple. I dearly love a Cherokee Purple tomato. Have you
tried them?
Sliced on a plate with salt and pepper - it's the perfect snack. Sandwiched
between bread with mayonnaise - it's the perfect lunch.
With so many tomatoes available right now, I'm stocking the pantry.
This winter when my taste buds are pining for summer tomatoes , I"ll
just open a jar and be reminded of warmer days. Of course, I won't
be eating tomato sandwiches, but by then vegetable soup will be hitting
the spot.
