You know, the first couple of days of snow you marv at the beauty of the fields and yard. And don’t mind, maybe, shoveling a little? But when the snow comes fast and furious, it gets old real fast … Same with tomatoes. The first one comes and you savor the flavor of it. You might pick the second one, that is a little orangey, a little early and put it in the window with anticipation of the taste soon. Then there are a couple more, but lots of green ones. The weather is getting colder and you are wondering are they going to be ripe in time, as there are almost 100 or more green ones. Now 6 at a time are ripening.. you give some away as your refrigerator drawer is starting to fill up/Cis, From A Simple Mind. More here.

Question: Do any of you have too many tomatoes this year? What other bumper crops did you have?
