Thank you, It hasn't been hard work, but the wait is killing me!

I can eat tomatoes every day!


---------------------

I looked up tomato relish and see that I have to do some work to get there!

It's a huge operation and some of the recipes sound really great!

Yeah me too, I have had gardens in other houses, this house it never works out, I think there is too much shade. My dad always had an awesome garden when I was growing up.

One of my first places was a duplex we rented, I was close enough to drive home at lunch and water the tomatoes during the hot part of the day, it can get to 110 here. I had so many tomatoes I had friends come over to pick there own.

Check out your place and watch where the sun shines for the better part of the day.....You can do it.


This recipe sounded really good!

HOT FISH-HOUSE STYLE GREEN TOMATO
PICKLES

2 qts. quartered green tomato
2 c. chopped onion
3/4 c. chopped hot peppers
2 c. sugar
3 tbsp. salt
2 c. vinegar
1 tsp. celery seed

Put tomatoes, onions and hot peppers in large pan. Mix remaining ingredients together. Pour over tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat immediately, put in hot, sterile jars and seal.
NOTE: For spicy but not hot pickles, reduce hot pepper to half or less the amount called for and fill. Measure with chopped sweet peppers.

Oh, I love pickled green tomatoes in salads.......I am going to look for supplies to try this out....

I picked two tomatoes this morning. They weren't totally ripe, but I thought I'd let them finish in the window and let the plant use its energies to make more tomatoes.

There are few things better than a ripe, fresh picked, home grown tomato!!! YUMMY!!!

Wasn't there a song about Home Grown Tomatoes years ago? About them growing on pots on porches and stuff? (I have grown them in pots on my porch before. They did really well) Ok, now I'm hungry!
