    Should I Take The Tomatoes ?

    There is a house for sale across the alley from me that has 4 or 5 tomato
    plants just inside their back yard near the back fence. The house has been empty for about a year now. I have been watching these plants grow and
    sorta noticing all the fruit growing like crazy on the vines. (they are not
    staked or anything) This morning I noticed a bunch were ready for picking.
    They look wonderful & I'm very tempted to step inside & take a few. Would
    you do it?

    I would, otherwise they'll just get eaten by crows or other animals. At least you can put 'em to good use.

    Fresh Salsa....

    I don't know the exact porportions - I kind of make it up as I go

    some freshly grown tomatoes
    onion
    a couple of peppers - serrano or jalepeno seem to work well.
    cilantro
    lime

    Chop it all up - get some chips and enjoy. - watch out for the peppers though, I didn't know that the inside with the seeds was where all the heat was stored - that was one hot batch of salsa.

    These are not the droids you were looking for

    Funny, that looks like a recipe i gave away at the BBQ....

    Yes. See http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=110798

    And Liz? I'd take them, and leave a little note of thanks just in case. They are surely, as mentioned, "volunteer tomatoes" and it would be a shame for them to rot on the vine!

    Yup!

    I've got a call in to Greyhound Bus right now ...
    asking the price to get Three 'Mater-Pickin Mutts to Indy!

    They're not too swift at "bringing them to the kitchen" ...
    but they can *Shake* & *Pluck* with the best of em!

    Point em in the right direction and they'll stay by the bush long
    enough to give you an excuse to be there to retrieve them.
    Wear baggy pants & fill your pockets!

    Well, I don't think that would come under stealing.

    Maybe, if you make a sign that says, "FREE TOMATOES?" Then, sit a watch?

    It doesn't seem like anyone else is interested in them. , What a shame to let them just rot away, huh!!!

    I don't know who I would ask, before helping myself to good food either.

    Hummmm,

    Maybe, I would just take , one.!!!! Then listen for sirens!!!!

    That was a sweet post Lizbud!!!

    Liz, if the house has been empty for a year, I think I'd risk it. I can send you a great recipe for Gazpacho.

    Just wonder how they've grown so well - as far as I know, they need watering quite often. Has it been raining a lot?
