I wish you could stop by and take some tomatoes.

[Croney]

I just picked these today, and the plants are still full. We give them away and make a lot of salsa.

1. Would if I could!

[Nictuku]

2. I do too!

They look lovely.

3. Wow! What a bumper crop! I thought about growing some this year, but a bad back put those

plans for a garden on the back burner. Instead, I'll go to the farmer's market and support people like you. Thanks so much for sharing your green thumb with all of us!

[Croney]

4. You're welcome! We've never tried selling produce.

Weather in the Northeast is too fickle. This year the corn is tiny and the jalapeños just never thrived. The cukes are torpedos though.

We are just city farmers.

5. I adore my farmers market.

Every Sunday I walk home loaded with all I can take home with my cart and bags.

The first item I hurry to snag is two pints of Sungold tomatoes. Delicious. I have a bountiful Sungold plant here at home, too.

9. I love our farmer's market, and not just for the produce too. It's neat to chat w/ fellow shoppers,

the gardeners, everyone! It's one of the great American traditions to show off one's luck (and expertise too) in the garden with others. A fine tradition if you ask me.

6. what is the variety of the cherry toms there? nt

[Croney]

7. I'll ask my husband.

[Croney]

17. He says Supersweet 100.

8. So do I!

10. Yummy!

We've been getting ours from a friend. I can't grow them because we have black walnut trees (please, someone, come get the walnuts! I hate them!). The last year I had a garden that produced a bumper crop I froze them. I dipped them in boiling water to removed the skins, then cored and quartered them, put them in quart freezer bags, and stacked them flat in the freezer. Lots easier than canning, and I would just fish out a couple of bags for spaghetti or chili or whatever. They lasted well into the winter. I was told later that you don't have to remove the skins but I prefer not to have those in my sauces.

[Croney]

11. Cool idea! I make salsa without removing skins, and you can't even tell.

Tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, garlic into the chopper, add lime juice and a little salt. Then I use cheesecloth to strain it, saving the extra water for making soup.

Uses up a lot of cherry tomatoes!

[SharonClark]

12. I see lots of tomato tarts in your future.

I planted 23 tomatos of 17 varieties and the Sweet 100 is twice as big as any other plant I've got.

[Croney]

13. I'm never heard of a tomato tart. Sound like something

I need for sure. I do make tomato quiches with our garden broccoli.

[Scrivener7]

14. I checked your profile, and you're only about 5 hours away from me.....

[Croney]

15. Come on! Eastern Mass.

[Trueblue1968]

16. my tomatoes aren't ripe yet. i have had a few but most are GREEN

THOSE ARE BEAUTIES !!!!!

[femmocrat]

18. We are getting ours all at once now!

I have tons of cherry tomatoes. Don’t know what to do with them all. My husband makes and freezes pizzas. I think they would be good on that. I am going to make some tomato soup.

Not enough cukes this year for gazpacho unfortunately!
