I must say first that first harvest isn't taking into account the lettuce, onions and radishes we've already enjoyed. They're cool weather, fast-growing crops which we'll replant at the end of the season to enjoy late into the fall.
This is the first harvest of tomatoes and peppers from our garden, and they're absolutely beautiful. Roma tomatoes will become pizza sauce. The peppers will be added to the Early Girl tomatoes when they're ready for spaghetti sauce. It looks like those will wait until after the class reunion next week, and then I'll be in full canning mode.
These were so beautiful, I just had to share. I think I see caprese salad in our near future. After all, I need to make sure they're as tasty as beautiful, right?
Mmmmm - definitely a salad! These look so good.
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteThese tomatoes are soooo much more flavorful than store tomatoes. There's such a difference when they ripen on the vine. Wish you could enjoy them with me.

Throw in a cucumber and that's my salad through the summer.

Hi Shirley:
DeleteOh, yes. Or my favorite summer sandwich - homemade bread spread with Duke's Mayonnaise, slices of tomato, sprinkles of black pepper and fresh-sliced cheddar cheese. mmm mmm
