What are You Eating from the Garden?

That's exactly what I had for supper, on homemade potato bread. The fruit was picked green but ripened nicely. The variety is Yusupovskiy S. Fergany, and I believe this is the first ripe tomato I ever got from this cultivar.

Homemade bread even!!!! Yummy!

That sounds really good right now - especially with toasted bread and lots of mayo!

I’m kind of funny I guess. I toast the bread if I’m making BLTs, but for a tomato only sandwich, I don’t toast it. Probably because I don’t like having to be super careful with how the BLTs scrape the roof of my mouth.

I don't care for the roof scraping either! That's why I quit eating Captain Crunch! However, when it comes to sandwiches I love the toasted bread so I just endure the scratched roof!

I just worry about having to floss bc my teeth are tight!!
I will have to try these great suggestions!!

I am thinking that DD will come around to using them, and not worry about it.

Yet another tuna pizza, this time garnished with a few strips of homegrown Alpine Poblano pepper, as well as Fiachetto di Manduria tomato halves that were dried in the oven in the summer and then frozen in glass jars. I had heard that dried tomatoes were good as a pizza topping but had never tried them that way before. They were delicious!

we have been making our BLTs in bowls in recent years, so the bread is cut up and smothered with all the other ingredients so it rarely is very scratchy by the time we're eating it. it's more like a bready, tomatoey, bacony pudding... yum yum... now i'm hungry for breakfast already...

I found a couple of ripe orange cherry tomatoes on a volunteer plant growing in a pot on the north side of the house. They tasted pretty good, and there are still more green tomatoes on the vine. Hours later it dawned on my that this plant is still producing in mid-November located in one of the coldest, wettest, shadiest parts of the garden. And the plant had no blight, in a year where all of the other tomatoes were taken out with late blight. Tomorrow I will go move the container under cover and monitor it. I'm kind of wishing that I had saved seeds from those two tomatoes that I ate.

Shade has nothing to do with it. Protection from the wind and heat from the house is happening.
On Mid American Gardener this is the time of year they talk about bringing plants inside and, if your garage is attached to the house, it makes a World of difference in "climate" to store a plant in a pot right next to the shared wall, then watering it about 3x/during the winter.

I brought in a couple potted plants so they could sit by the fire and the happy light all winter! They have already perked up since I brought them in!

You're brave. Yesterday I brought in some late harvested bean pods for drying, and tiny bugs were crawling and hopping all over my kitchen counter. After that there is no way I would consider bringing a potted plant in from outdoors. Too risky.
