Holy Tomatoes Batman!!
I really, really wanted to can tomatoes this year. Our good friend Lew gave us 12 tomato plants to plant in our garden and I ended up with 2 plus strainers full so far. They are still doing well and growing. But I didn't feel like it was enough to can. Every Sunday during football season, Rich watches the game with his good friend Vince. When the game was over, Rich came home and told me that Vince had bought a bushel full of tomatoes and canned them. So I called Terri (Vince's wife) and asked her where Vince had gotten the tomatoes from. The next day at work (yes, Terri and I work at the same place), Terri told me the Vince said he would pick the tomatoes for me, since it was a pick your own farm. I thought that was really nice of him....but then he always has been a nice guy. Tonight I was at work and Sarah sent me a message that Vince came by and dropped off my tomatoes and she sent me this pic.
Oh my I am reliving a tomato nightmare!! J/k that's a lot of tomatoes. My mom brought 4 grocery bags full of them. We made salsa and Spaghetti sauce and then I ran out of energy for the last bag. I had to throw half the bag away because some seemed like they rotted and gotten too soft. It was a fun experience though it was my first time canning. Have fun canning them :)
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the first year I had pumpkins in my garden. I was giving them away by the boxful!
