Tomatoes After All

Category: Gardening | Posted: Fri Jun 27, 2014 10:15 am

I didn't do so well with my tomatoes this year, but thankfully I was able to work around that. My sister-in-law's family leases out land to a local farmer and he has a large U-pick tomato field. He called her up this past weekend and told her to come get all of the tomatoes that she wanted. So, of course she called my wife and on Monday they headed to the tomato field.

My mom fried some green tomatoes that evening. I didn't think my dad would ever get through eating them. The majority of them were pink so they got put out in the shed to ripen. It looks like we will be putting them up on Saturday. We'll get the jars ready today and pull out everything we need to get the job done.

I never was a fan of canning tomatoes when I was a kid, but I've learned to appreciate it now that I'm a little bit older. It's funny how things work out that way.
