tomatoes

[cat fever]

That is what my breakfast right now consists off.

Last year at this same time I was building this barn.

In the morning I would eat a tomato. (big one) Drink some juice and get started building. Just before dark I'd come back in eat more tomatoes and a sliced cucumber, or sauted crook neck squash. Did that for about six weeks while building. Always felt good and lost about 15 pounds doing it.

Toasted tomato and cheese sandwiches with mayo, salt and pepper. White bread and American cheese of course.

I think I ate hundreds of them growing up!


When was growing heirlooms for market some years back it was always tomatoes for breakfast usually some nice sweet one like maybe a Cherokee Purple, yellow Ox Heart or German Red Strawberry piled on top of toasted bagels and cream cheese. Now that's good!

One of the Chefs I supplied made an awesome tomato /watermelon salad for the restaurant

Lately its been all tomato salad here...diced tomatoes, mixed colors, with olive oil, vadalia onion, cubanelle pepper and splash of apple cider vinegar.

I had a great crop of tomatoes at home this year and I'm starting to get tired of eating tomatoes :confused2:

Now those 3 greenhouses at work are producing like crazy. We do a late planting towards the end of June an right now pick on average about 200lbs a week. Most are all 3/4lb minimum too. The bumper crop harvest a few weeks ago was over 400lbs for that one weekend.

But once the corn is gone nobody wants no dang tomatoes either!
