Tomatoes

Even more tomatoes ripe. We must have salad. We must make salsa. I knew a dozen plants were going to overwhelm us. I was right.

And this on the feline front,



I really don't see how it could be better in so short a time. Right after this, he walked by her, she batted at him, and he just kept going as if to say, "Eh, not now." Or, perhaps that last moment was, "Wanna play some more?" "Naw, I'm done, thanks." All very calm. They'd been chasing around shortly before, so I think Moby was tired. She'd sat on the mat by the door, he'd stalked and ran at her, she batted and ran off. Then she did it again, same result. Then a third time. Moby sat that one out.


Gone from having a black cat that is difficult to photograph, to a cat who never stops moving, making it difficult to get a non-blurry photo.

Reminds me of the time I grew tomatoes from seed - 100 of them. Most of them won't germinate I thought. Every one of them did. We had salads galore, home made tomato wine, gave away stacks of plants, and there was still more. I'm sure you'll enjoy your home grown produce.

I thought I had eight plants, but it was actually a dozen. Last year, my four plants produced about 8 tomatoes. This year, each one has about that many. Even the two weakest that I put out front as an experiment.

They really are very tasty.

Nothing better than fresh-picked sliced tomatoes liberally salted and peppered. Mmmmmmmmm! We planted ours late, so we're still waiting to taste the first ones...

Class,
I like 'em as they are. Or put in other meals. Never got the salting thing, honestly. Like putting cream on peaches - that's just nuts! But then, I don't contaminate cereal with milk, either. Or sugar in tea, blegh.
