Tomatoes and Raspberries...WOOHOO!

7/22/2011

Despite this outrageous heat and lack of rain these past few weeks, my raspberries and patio tomatoes and doing quite well.  It's about 98 degrees here and the lawn is pretty much fried from the raging sun and drought, but I've been harvesting a fair amount of berries from the bushes that my Darling Hubby planted several years ago.  At the end of the growing season, I will take the berries that I've stored in the freezer and make homemade jam...my family's favorite!

My First Patio Tomato Harvest! :-)
As for the tomatoes:  while I'm not a fan of eating them raw, I thought I'd give them a second chance...otherwise, I may try them in a recipe.  If anyone has any suggestions, do share them here...I'd love to read them!

If you enjoyed what you've read, please do share the link to this blog on your favorite social media site and sign up for my newsletter to receive updates on what I've been digging and learn a few tips and tips along the way!  Thanks so much!

In the meantime, I'm going to park myself in front of a fan and cool off until this heat wave breaks...

Stay cool...literally!  :-)

Dice the tomato into a small dice, quarter inch or so. Smash one garlic clove and add extra virgin olive oil and small amount of your favorite pesto. Serve on crostini for an excellent Bruschetta!

You can make a tomato paste or ketchup out from it.
