Omg, I have such a lot of tomatoes from my garden. Soups, sauces and salsa loom in my near future. Maybe even dried tomatoes.
It’s such a shame that we get a 2 month frenzy, and 10 months of no fresh tomatoes.

I usually buy some standard tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and plum tomatoes in my weekly shop, though I only buy vine tomatoes if they're reduced in price. I see tomatoes everywhere.

Mine are so much tastier |

I use an immersion blender to make it smooth and I freeze it for the winter.

No slugs for a change too.

Mine are so much tastier Yum. I recently discovered shakshuka so I look for when the local greengrocer has cheap over ripe toms. Its a real treat when a friend has plenty of home grown tomatoes to give away. Looks like I will have to get a tomato patch happening.

SAD I have to look up shakshuka I looked it up . I make huevos rancheros the Mexican version of that. Delicious |

I tried to get my husband to buy a small green house. He said the tomatoes wouldnt be good like the summer ones. They'll be 'hot house' tomatoes. |

Yum. I recently discovered shakshuka so I look for when the local greengrocer has cheap over ripe toms. Its a real treat when a friend has plenty of home grown tomatoes to give away.

SAD I have to look up shakshuka I looked it up . I make huevos rancheros the Mexican version of that. Delicious I'm still trying to get the lemon juice/vinegar balance right to make the tomato sauce more versatile than just for shakshuka. Tomatoes, salt, cumin and chilli are OK for poaching eggs in but I want something I can use for other dishes too when I make a batch to bottle. In my climate I reckon I can get at least 6 months production for tomatoes. I can occasionally harvest cherry tomatoes when they grow wild in compost heaps and mulch piles. An unbelievably warm winter this year. I don't think it got any colder than 10C (50F) outside the house all winter. No winter PJs, no huddling in front of the fire wrapped in a blanket.

We were so hot this summer. It was bad. And it is suppose to set high temperature records this weekend. 106! Your winter is more mild than mine. Your growing season is a lot longer than mine. I started harvesting tomatoes in june and they are just about done. Good luck getting the balance! |
