Now you just fork over 15 of those lovelies, ya hear? Yum!
A got a softball sized fresh peach the other day that someone got at farm. OMG. It was so delicious. I went to my grocery store and bought some. Yuck. What a difference. It tasted like crunchy water. No sweetness whatsoever. I should have taken the rest back for a refund. If I asked you to bite one, you would never have known it was a peach.
I see them paired with some lovely little chunks of fresh mozzarella and some roughly chopped basil, drizzled with quality olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt.
Truthfully now. You planted only ONE tomato plant? And after the first 300 balls of deliciosity you are bored with the fruit? And you need to open a farm market to get shed of the rest? I may need to purchase some of your SOIL and transport it to my garden.
Kathy--There is nothing worse than a woody peach after you have taken a huge bit out of it. Ugh. Ick. Ptooey! And you are not getting off easy with 15 of those wee tomatoes--you have to take at least 100 if you are taking one.
Grace--I'm telling you, you do tire of those bad boys.
Pricilla--But will they taste like watermelon??? I like watermelon candy.
Sheildmaiden--Jodi told me about that the other day, and yes, that is delicious! It is the only redeeming thing that is keeping that plant in the ground lately.
Vanilla--We only plant ONE plant each year as that is enough to keep us in tomatoes, believe it or not. I have it on the side of my house where it gets really warm. I think they like it there.
Helene--Please! Don't be rubbing it in! Sigh.
A. Marie--It's just annoying how they keep ripening and I still have a fridge full. Ugh. And there are thousands of those bad boys just waiting for me to go in the house so they can turn red. They are evil, I tell you. Evil!
Ann--I used to love tomatoes until I got this GERD thing. Now they just make my throat close up and make me grumpy. Oh, how I love them, but they are messing with the stomach acids.
Lin, pack them up and send them to me! Brian and I love cherry tomatoes! And out here in Cali, we don't get ANY good tomatoes at all - for some reason our weather does not make for tasty tomatoes. I keep forgetting this until I'm back east and have something with tomato in it - totally a different experience than West Coast tomatoes. So yeah, I'll take those babies!
Highway--Oh, that would make me mad! Does coyote pee work on them?
Lola--Oh no! You need a scarecrow! I really hate when they all ripen at once, don't you?
Roschelle--Yeah, about 100 of them and you kinda are. They aren't so yummy to me anymore.
Janiss--Really? That is weird. You'd think with all that sunshine and warmth they would love it there!
Tracy--Bummer. I only need one plant strategically placed on the side of the house. They LOVE it there and I get tons of tomatoes. But this cherry tomato thing is just too much. Ugh.
Tomatoes are dangerous! You just can't help but grow 18 thousand plants thinking that there won't be enough or that some of the crop will die, etc, but end up with enough to single handedly feed the whole of Africa!
Veronica--I don't know how to make that! Can you pop over and help me??? :) I'm gonna have to look that one up, pally. Thanks for the suggestion.
Nancey--Those tomato plants are NUTS! After years of dealing with a plethora of tomatoes, we finally came to the conclusion that we only need ONE plant. Hah. Yeah, now I'm dealing with this. Ugh.
I just think life is more fun if we notice the little stuff and laugh...a LOT. I'm lucky to live with a family who humors me, joins in the fun and tolerates me most days.
I have a wee house and yard, but it is loaded with adventures. There isn't a backyard pond owner out there who has more stories about her frogs, snails, fish than me. And I don't even make this stuff up!
I'm glad you are here to laugh with me. Welcome, pallies!

Dehydrate them. They will be like candy.

OMG I am laughing too much to type.
I'll send you a pic of my BIG ones I brought in this morning.
My Dad would be in tomato heaven. He loves those little bitty morsels of yumminess!!! :)
Tomatoes are one thing I don't think I ever get tired of, especially those wee tiny ones.

We haven't gotten any tomatoes yet. The few that have turned red the birds got.
I have Big Boys and roma tomatoes. I can't wait until they start coming in.

I tried to grow tomatoes for two years and got one.

Oh yum yum yummy!!! LOL!!! I hope my crop produces so many lovely wee tiny teeny 'pop in your mouth' tomatoes!!! ;)
xo Catherine
I love to rinse those shiny red orbs of goodness and pop them into my mouth. Pure deliciousity!
Catherine--I hope so too. Let me know if you reach the point of saturation like I did.
Chuck--I do like them right off the vine and warmed from the sun. Okay, so I'm gonna die of germs--it's part of the thrill.
Make curry with them!
