Have you tried Kumato tomatoes? They are incredible!

I cut way back on varieties, this year, because the last two seasons weren't all that productive - especially last year. So, of course, this year is a really GOOD year for tomatoes.

Also a great year for summer squash. I've already picked more, this year, than in the last three years combined. Sweet peppers are doing so-so. I might have to buy some for when I start making stewed tomatoes.

We're in for another stretch of hot weather, starting this weekend, so I'm anticipating I'll be doing a lot of picking in the very near future.

Sorry you cut back on tomatoes, but hopefully you'll have enough.

Every harvest is a bit of a gamble, for sure. I will always remember one year when I was a teenager we got zillions of Japanese beetles on our green beans.

Closest one to me is about 35 miles, or so, which means I stock up on my favorite things. I'm always disappointed when one of those disappears. I've learned if buying two of something I love is a good idea, buying 4 is a better idea. I just wish I had stocked up on the Honey Pale Ale mustard.

We had an infestation of Japanese beetles a few years back. They destroyed my roses and so many other flowers, not to mention the plum trees. When I was mowing the back lot I accidentally got too close to one of the trees and it felt like a BILLION of those little monsters descended onto me. It was like a scene from a horror film.

It sounds like we had similar Japanese beetle experiences! We're on the West Coast now and luckily they aren't an issue here.

... but it will be Black Krim tomatoes and perhaps a bit of Asiago on the side....
... dessert is white nectarines with a scoop of fresh ricotta drizzled with honey surrounded by strawberries....

I'm going to utilize some fresh picked summer squash, tomorrow, HOPEFULLY with a few grape tomatoes, salmon, served with pasta and fresh parmesan and garnished fresh Basil from my herb garden.

I don't have a garden this year but I have access to fresh tomatoes. I have a few more waiting for tomorrow's and Saturday's and Sunday's sandwiches.

A staple in summer!

If I eat more the one, my lips chap. Glory!! They're wonderful.

Should be picking our first early girls in a few days.

There are a few that should be ripe in a couple of days but I suspect the heat in the forecast will hasten things.

I make stewed tomatoes and freeze them for making soups, chili, stews and curries during the cold season. And Marinara sauce.

Usually I plant Golden Jubilee tomatoes because they are lower in acid but I had such horrible luck with all of the tomatoes last year I decided to simplify. Now I'm regretting that decision.

until mid August. We only planted one early girl and one roma this year because we do need to conserve water here and we may be moving before the season is over. Just our luck that one early girl plant has over 50 tomatoes on it. The roma looks good, too.

We also freeze lots of them and use them all winter and spring. There's usually only a small window of time when we buy tomatoes.
