TOMATOES!!



I have more tomatoes than I could ever imagine. This is my first year here and these are just Early Girls but I think they should be renamed Wild Women. I'm really glad I tried the straw bedding as it kept both the weeds and the watering at a minimum.

I've spent every day for the past 2 weeks cooking and freezing them in various combinations and containers. Right now I'm making tomato juice for breakfast tomorrow. Maybe I'll have a red beer a little later.

It's a lot of work but I sure do love gardening.
