Another Harvest 7 15 07

QAGuy · July 15, 2007

Here's what I picked today.

I'm inundated with tomatoes!

Lower left are Radiator Charlie, to the right are Tigerella
and at the top are Brandywine OTV.

I've never had such a year as this one. It's incredible.

Congratulations on your success!

Gee, what a problem to have.

Looks great--enjoy!

Earl · July 17, 2007

Looks like to me that you'd better get the canning jars out. :-)

Hilde · July 17, 2007

Mmmmm, that is incredible! How many plants do you have? Mmmm, imagine all the BLTs you can make, and all that home made pasta sauce!

Thanks for sharing!

Hilde - I've 10 plants with one variety of each.

In other words, all of each type in the photos came from a
single plant!

Had BLT's for dinner tonight in fact.

Planning on more sauce making this weekend. Already have a few quarts put up. Gotta stock up for the winter!

QAguy, can you give me a recipe for your sauce? I'm doing my first canning this weekend and would welcome some recipes.

Thanks so much!

When I say sauce, I mean just cooked down tomato juice. Nothing added but some salt. I run them through the juicer
on my Kitchen Aid mixer and apply heat.

Hilde · July 20, 2007

Wow! Wow! Wow!

You got all of that in a single day harvest from only TEN plants? That's incredible! I was sure that you had at least 40 plants with a harvest like that! Way to go!

Not exactly Hilde. Those tomatoes didn't come from 10 plants, they came from only 3 plants.

Like I said, it's been an incredible year.

That's it, I'm moving ... well. maybe not... picked my first ripe one this morning - a little Kimberly.

Incredible must be the biggest understatement of the year! Of course you can never have too much of a good thing, can you?
