Posted - Aug 03 2009 : 7:50:05 PM Trouble is, I can't wait to put them in a salad so they usually just get 'et' right on the spot. I figgered out that I need to chow down just a day or so before they are truly ripe, otherwise they are a bit mushy inside.
Have 9 plants of all types. Some of the plants and 'maters are so big they just hang over, keep breaking the trellis things we put in. Found 'maters on the ground even.
Still, the best tasting!!

Posted - Aug 04 2009 : 06:49:25 AM >> << Yup - there is nothing more enjoyable than fresh 'maters from the garden!! -- Noah's been really good about pickin' the green ones from our plants..they too have the tendancy to pull the vines down toward the ground, even tho we have 'em on supports.
I made up some fresh salsa last night to have with flour tortillas...Weee!! Yummy, an' since the batch is in the fridge, tonight it'll even taste better!! Yum!!

Posted - Aug 04 2009 : 05:39:00 AM It's yummy here in Kentucky, too, Winona. I'm finally getting a few myself. Been eating tomato sandwiches at work and in stuffed green peppers(from the garden,too). We've had so much rain the poor tomatoes seem to stay green forever. :(

Posted - Aug 04 2009 : 05:27:24 AM I think I have a Lemon Boy, not sure. Hubby planted some of the plants and tossed the little signs so we're not sure what they are. Just yellow...hehehe...
The Early girls have been going a while and the Roma's are sure coming around quickly. The others a going in fits and starts.
Yep, I love to spot a bit of red amongst the leaves or some real yellow and then either eat on the spot or slice up with sea salt and pepper...yummy!!

Posted - Aug 03 2009 : 8:34:28 PM Mine are coming, too! Just tonight we enjoyed BLT's on homemade bread with homegrown "Lemon Boy" and "Black Prince" tomatoes, and garden-fresh lettuce! YUM! Nothing like a tomato fresh out of the garden, still warm from the sun!!!
