Tomatoes

Giant tomatoes!


When they're this fresh, you can eat a tomato like an apple (and you need to wear a bib!)



Vince was proud of his tomatoes this year. Some of them grew to be really big and we were told by a wise, veteran tomato grower that the more cracks the more flavorful the tomato. They drew quite a bit of attention at the market. Unfortunately, they also grew attention from unidentified critters who liked to snack on them straight off the vine. We had a lot of tomatoes that we got to eat half of because something else had bitten into them. After the markets were over, an entire day was spent preserving tomatoes in sauce for use this winter.
