The Tomato Harvest

Janet and Bob are on vacation, and they asked me to pick their tomatoes for them while they are gone. They said I can keep what I pick too, just saving a few for them later. I am NOT going to turn down free tomatoes, and Bob’s tomatoes are always so delicious too. As you can see, these plants are very healthy and very fruitful.

Yesterday was my first tomato harvest, with more coming too.

I only picked the ripe ones, leaving tons more on the vines that aren’t quite ready yet. I’ll probably go back and pick some more tomorrow.

This was my first day’s haul. There are 3 different kinds of tomatoes here. I forget what Bob called the larger reds, but there are also sweet 100’s and yellow boys too. I spilt this box with Mike & Lauren and my neighbors Hanna & Aziz and I still have plenty left.

Last week, Bob had given me another big bag of the sweet 100’s too. Believe it or not, those are almost all gone already. We love tomatoes and eat a lot, especially fresh garden-picked tomatoes. 🙂

I am making a tomato tart with the first batch. Tomato Tart I already have my dough made, now I just need to make the tart to go with the rest of dinner. Though this tart could easily be a complete dinner all on its own. 🙂 And I see some marinara sauce in the very near future too. 🙂

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
