This weekend, I went out and picked most of the green tomatoes that were still hanging on the vine. The weather is much colder now and I don't suspect that they would have lasted much longer unprotected. These will be left to ripen inside. I've started the slow process of ripping down my tomato plants but still have a ways to go. Anybody wanna come over and help? :)
Finally, I decided to opt out of this week's Harvest Monday, but will tally the numbers next week. I will, however, be admiring everyone else's.
I guess you are seeing green, LOL! Knowing I was going to be leaving shortly, I tossed all of my green tomatoes as i ripped out the plants. I'm still getting enough for fresh eating from the few plants that are left. I have carrot envy. I'll be pulling one bed of mine (about for squares) on Friday, but I doubt there are many of edible size for us humans. The rabbit, however, will be well fed for a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteJonathan is growing so quickly!
Oh...just look at the little man with his carrots! He looks really cute...I hear ya on the green tomatoes, and still don't know what'll be done with mine...
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute photo! You have a cute garden helper! So many tomatoes. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThose carrots look great!
ReplyDeleteAnd you have a really cute helper. :)
Boy Thomas, that's a lot of green tomatoes! I have quite a few out there too! I am going to make a batch of green tomato jelly...but, that will only use a few. Hopefully most will ripen inside. I won't be participating in Harvest Monday either. I spent the past few days canning and didn't take any pics.
ReplyDeleteThe little guy is a real cutie pie!
That is a lot of tomatoes. I picked some of mine, but a lot went into the compost. Johnathan is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteYou are completely out of control with those tomatoes Thomas! And I was just thinking about a week ago that we needed another "Jonathan in his rubber boots" fix! But is he in his SOCKS? LOL too cute!
ReplyDeleteLots of green tomatoes Thomas, yikes! Those carrots are perfect, and the model is adorable!!
ReplyDeleteI still need to rip out one of my dead tomatoes. Its not likely anytime soon since I've started in on putting the beds together. But it looks just terrible there all spindly and brown.
ReplyDeleteWow! so many tomatoes!
ReplyDeletethat is one big crop, and so many varieties too.
That's a big crop - I've still got quite a lot of green tomatoes, but not as many as you. I'll be making more green tomato chutney though!
ReplyDeleteWe ate the last of the carrots - small but tasty, at the weekend and pulled the first of the leeks. I made a huge vat of leek and potato soup - scrummy!
You have sure had a good tomato year! What are you doing with them all?
ReplyDeleteThomas, I've nominated you for a meme on A Day in the Slow Life. I'd love it if you'd participate.
