#58- Tomatoes

My tomato plants did their very best this year, and finally managed to pump out a cute little crop of tomatoes, the ones that made it out of the garden without getting eaten by squirrels (who would mockingly leave whole red ones with one bite sitting on the fence), my children, or disease (I actually found a recommended cure of putting crunched up egg shells in the soil, worked wonders!) Were promptly rushed indoors where they have been used for all things tomato-y! Friends of ours who are on vacation and have very flourishing tomato plants, of different varieties, asked us to harvest them while they were gone, so that has kept our house and the fruit flies buzzing! I am tomatoed out, but have found lots of uses, and tried making pasta sauce which turned out A-M-A-Z-I-N-G (not to toot my own horn) The kids love them when they are able to pick them off the plant itself and eat them like an apple, not so much for some reason when they are cut up on a plate, but they do looove the sauce!:) Here's to tomatoes! this years apples for us!
