Love this time of year....these are heirloom varieties I started from seed.

Pruning our plants this afternoon and found one! Finally picked our first ripe tomatoe! All the rest are still green...but its a start!

 

[JCDEERMAN]

Ate 2 romas tonight with a salad, picked and sliced cucumber and grilled chicken. Tons of grape tomatoes coming in. More potatoes than I can eat. Everything is coming in at once. Taking notes for next year.

A sliced tomato and sliced cucumber with salt and pepper are the Grace of God. Even more, a sliced tomato with a thinly sliced piece of mozzarella and basil drizzled with olive oil and balsamic…my goodness!

We do the same but we cheat a little and use the Kraft Tuscan House Italian Dressing over the cucumber, tomatoe and mozzarella.....and for the mozzzarella we buy the cheese sticks and slice them into small sections.....we'll fix a big bowl and eat on it several days... for lunch I'll hard boil a couple eggs and have a big bowl cucumber salad....delicious.

My little picking last few days

My first year growing Romas and San Marzano tomstoes. Hoping to can some pizza and pasta sauces this summer.

 

[Gravey]

Not much better than a good juicy tomato in the summer. I eat one about every night with my meal. Had a bacon & tomato sandwich last night.

Our plants are pretty loaded and just getting started to get ripe tomatoes. Wife has been eating our ripe tomatoes about as fast as they are coming in, but we are fixing to start having a lot of them.

 

[DaveB]

Getting some ripe ones now.

Cucumbers failed. Something wrong with soil.

Corn is growing like mad.

starting 2nd large garden this weekend.

 

[backyardtndeer]

Wife has more squash and cucumbers than her and my daughter's can eat.

This is a modified version of a Racheal Ray tomato salad. Various colored tomatoes to add some visual appeal, fresh cucumber, red onions, olive oil and a good splash of red wine vinegar. Add a little coarse salt and ground black pepper. Stir and let sit for a few minutes then eat up. We love it.

Had a bacon & tomato sandwich last night.

Same, absolutely love them.

Carolina golds, cherry tomatoes, and banana peppers
Banana peppers stuffed with eye talian sausage on the grill are in my future.

I love the Cherokee Purple but it sure has a high spoilage rate. I probably only get to eat 1 out of 3.

For all you tomato salad lovers, this is my favorite dish on earth, period, hands down, drop the mic. I LOVE this stuff! Saw Nick Stellino making it on TV years ago. I've been making it ever since…even in the winter time. But with fresh tomatoes from the garden, it's all the better.



I couldn't find a printed version that wasn't behind a pay wall. Video is the best I can do, short of typing it all out.

had them running out my ears. the humidity is taking its toll on them now. canned a bunch, give a bunch away. beefsteak, betterboys and jet star.

adjusted my fertilizer and soil amendments to get sweeter tomatoes. wife said they taste peachy this year. should make for some awesome bolognese sauce.
