We have tomatoes at our house, but the summer was way too hot and they burned; not enough water supply :( And I so love homegrown food :(Cindy Vaskovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06747628778627025130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-925665253289222282014-08-10T20:07:04.602-04:002014-08-10T20:07:04.602-04:00Sounds like you were busy.

When I lived with my parents, part of chores was getting large rocks out of the garden so he could plow, and helping to pick various foods. I don't miss that part, but I do miss all the fresh produce to eat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-82480071833546559952014-08-10T09:14:11.577-04:002014-08-10T09:14:11.577-04:00Everything looks gorgeous!

I grew up on home gardening (we had about an acre and two-thirds with two vegetable patches and a small orchard on it), and I always kept a balcony garden with at least some herbs and a tomato plant on it. Can't do that with the balcony I have now because there's too much shade.<br /><br />Could always just tray freeze & bag the leftover tomatoes -- they'll come in handy over the winter. Brilliant you have a dehydrator!Katherine Hajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08270232675026751342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-59275801857682390922014-08-10T04:13:00.216-04:002014-08-10T04:13:00.216-04:00Well that was a good harvest!

I make tomato chutney with my excess tomatoes - I sterilise the jars in the oven so that they will keep and the chutney keeps for at least a year, that is if I make enough because it goes pretty quick in this house.Helen A.
