Summertime, summertime, sum, sum, summertime! Nothing says summer to me like fresh tomatoes from our garden. They have been getting ripe a few at a time up until this week. This is what I picked today off six plants.
The farmer's market had purple hulled peas today. Right now, there's a big pot of those simmering for our dinner tomorrow night. I'll fix cornbread and sliced tomatoes to go with them and we'll enjoy a meal much like one my mom would have fixed when I was a kid. Yummy!
It's so hot here that we can't leave tomatoes on the plants until they're completely ripe. You have to pick them with just a little bit of green near the stem. Momma always brought hers in and placed them stem side down on the window sill to finish getting ripe. I have no clue why she turned them over, but I do the same thing!
Fred picked up some bacon this morning at the grocery store and I can see BLT's in our near future!
