Our Big Boy tomatoes are beginning to ripen.  I picked some today.  At that point, dinner became a no brainer, we had BLTs, and they were wonderful!  There’s nothing quite as good as fresh home grown tomatoes.  We’ve been munching on the grape and plum tomatoes for weeks now.  In fact, so have the damned squirrels.  We’ve been finding half eaten ones all over the yard.

     I’ve been keeping my eye on a couple of huge Big Boys on the vine in the side garden.  They are growing to twice the size of the potted tomato plants alongside the house.  Those will be one slice a sandwich tomatoes.  I guess I’d better stock up on bacon.

     I think that next year I’ll plant the same number of tomato plants but I’ll do a pot of a variety of lettuces too.  My neighbor did it and it turned out quite nice since the rabbits couldn’t get to it.  The Romaine lettuce, that I planted in the pot with the grape and plum tomatoes, has long since gone to seed but it sure was good early on. 

     We love fried green tomatoes too so we always hope to have plenty of green tomatoes left at the end of the season.  Dear Hubby had never had them before he married me.  Now it’s something he looks forward to having in the fall.
