We don't have local tomatoes yet but my wife and daughter picked a bunch of blackberries and there is a cobbler on the counter. This weekend my wife and her sister will get serious about picking and will make blackberry jelly, which is my favorite.

Mornin Jim,
You guys are making me hungry ! Ive got quite a few good sized tomatoes but they are quite green.

Nothing like a fresh tomato sandwich lathered with mayo, Real Hellmans, of course and maybe a bit of bacon ! BTW dont tell my wife !

Tomato sauce thats cooked then frozen in gallon ziplock bags... makes a great pasta sauce down the road....

"Does your kitchen look like this?"

Yep!

Newspapers and plants on the counter. Bottles here and there. Dishes in the sink....

Oh, you are talking about the produce!

I WISH my kitchen looked like that. Maybe in a few more weeks. A guy at work just brought in a basket of squash. I think ours will be ready in mid July. I could pull some carrots today, maybe some soybeans, and Basil. Not tomaters though....

And I started planing before the last average frost date....

Patience. Patience.

Later,
Dan

I didn't know yankees liked tomato sandwiches! You learn something new every day. How about that, TBN as a vehicle for cultural diversity!

Down here we like them the same way, but the mayo would be Dukes.

This reminds me of that bit by Garrison Keeler when everyone has a big year with their tomatos. People start leaving them on your porch in a basket during the wee hours of the morning, etc, etc, Funny stuff. Had to be there.

To me, there is nothing like a tomato that is just right. You only get a few that are perfect but when they are it is clearly one of God's gifts. A perfect peach can be nearly as good and nearly as hard to find.
