Tomatoes, tomatas, tomaters

I realized I haven't written anything as of late. We have been a wee bit busy. It's this garden thing. Now we are into tomatoes. Note the spelling on the title. I have heard all of the pronunciations for this vegetable, well actually fruit. Tomatoes are fruits you know. At any rate, we have many. A gentleman down the street starts tomatoes and peppers as kind of a little hobby in the greenhouse which he has along side of his home, complete with a rain water collection system. They are the best plants, very healthy. We started 8 plants, a couple of plum, grape, beef, jet star, and celebrity. The little grape tomatoes came on in clusters and then not far behind were the plums and now we have the beef and all the rest. Awesome! We pick a nice bowl full almost every day now. We have had cucumber and tomato salads and sandwiches, eat them plain and grilled. Well you get the picture. Yesterday it was decided that there were way too many and so we made the decision to make some salsa or picante sauce. Our task has been accomplished. We now how 8 pints of beautiful salsa or picante sauce. What's the difference anyway?? I feel we may need to find something else to make as we have a number of those beefy tomatoes almost ripe. Our bushes are heavy laden and our bowls overflow. There is nothing better than fresh, off the bush tomatoes.
So to sum this up, there are a growing number of bags of zucchini in various forms in the freezer, the blackberry jam is already dwindling in number (it is fabulous on toast) and now we have salsa. I think corn is next on the agenda. It is cheap right now so I think we must put some in freezer. There is a variety called peaches and cream that is absolutely the best. Who knows, maybe I'll take up farming haha.
