A couple of the branches fell down, I had them tied with strips of pantyhose, but, the weight of the Tomato's are just too much and they crashed. Just as well, it makes it easier to find them. I have to find them all because those huge Brandywines are meaty and when they rot, eww, it stinks. And flys are attracted. So I got all the stinko's cleaned up in this Tomato bed and threw them in the compost pile. In the other bed, it's pretty wild and I'll never find them all, but, it's way back in the back yard, so, it doesn't matter. These are close to the house.

For dinner I'm having a lunch meat sandwich on white Wonder Bread. No need for mayo, just big slabs of fresh Tomatos and salt and pepper. Yum. By the way, that's just half of one plant. You really don't want to know how many of these things I have. It's sort of embarassing.

mmmmmmmmmmm tomatoes. I am jealous
your compost pile will be sprouting tomatoes next year!
Sounds Delish. Hold the mayo on mine as well!
Every once in a while I get a 'craving' for wonder bread, that stick to the roof of your mouth feeling reminds me of being a kid, eating my bagged lunch @ school.
DD they are gorgeous ! Kiki =D

Tia, my comost pile is covered by Pumpkins, I reckon it will grow a lot of stuff. It'll be fun to see. I had Tomatoes come up by the garbage cans this year.
Yep, I like baloney and tuna on "kid" bread.
Fairy, no mayo on yours..Nissa, you want mayo?
I'm sure you've tried this before, but this is dinner for me tonight:
Caprese salad - fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese (unripened mozza) and fresh basil leaves with olive oil and balsamic vinegar drizzled over them (and pepper, of course).
i love it!
I'm sorry. forgot to write SM@L re: caprese salad.
No mayo would be just fine, actually hold the bread also. I'll eat mine just like an apple with salt and pepper please:)
My grandmother and I used to eat tomato and butter sammitches. Yup, just butter or margerine on white bread, sliced tomatoes, salt & pepper; cut on the. . .well, you know. . .
SM&L, caprese salad sounds yummy and simple. I'll have to pick up some balsamic.
Everyone mentions their grandma and tomatos, lol. When I hand Lissa a cherry tomato she acts like she's eating a bug.
oh Biz, i know what you mean about wonder bread...sometimes i crave it too...
when that happens i get a loaf of it, then fry some bacon for a bacon with miracle whip sandwich...lots of bacon!!!
or a hard boiled egg sandwhich (no yolk)....buttered bread, slices of still HOT boiled egg---so it'll melt the better and pepper!!
now i'm hungry damnit!
No need to be embarrassed. I will send you a picture of my harvest last year. I think at the end of the season, I had about 45 tomatoes in different varieties. I piled a bunch up on counter and took a picture.
I love salted tomatoes. I could eat just that. And I used to hate hate hate raw tomatoes when I was a kid.
Wonder bread with chunky peanut butter and Fluff.
I love Caprese pizza from the brick oven place here in our city. Yummmmy!
Mmm Heidi! I forgot about fluff & peanut butter! PB & bananas is another favorite. Or toasted bread with cream cheese and bananas. I also used to make a turkey sandwich and put doritos in the middle. Oh jeez... Thank goodness I've got a pint of heaven in the freezer (coldstone) this is giving me the munchies!
You should be embarassed LOL and I'm jellus because I just got back from the grocery store and spent $205 and had to buy those expensive vine ripened maters that still have the vine on them
bologna with mustard and potato chips on top....
I put chips in sammies too. I thought I was the only one. Ever try tuna salad with grape nut cereal in it? Good.
Oh Escrowmama
, me too! Doesn't that just piss you off? Go pay for things then come here and see what DD has for free! Pfft! Lol
I wish you all lived closr. Aww.
DD-On this hill I live on I can see to Greely and sometimes I pretend it's Iowa I'm seeing. Is your town really Guntown?
Biz-Ya it pisses me off because i've been such a loser lazy ass this year and I have all those skills and there is a reason I have been lead to DD. I am healing and growing. Thanks all
luv luv wonder bread. the kid recently went on a bacon/lettuce/white bread kick so we've had it in the house a lot. As a result, I've developed a long lost/new found love with kraft american cheese and/or bologna w/mayo or plain old grilled cheese. One of the many beautiful and yummy benefits of cutting back in these times :)
really wanted to container plant some maters this year but didn't get to it. Also knew we'd be camping a lot and wouldn't be around to water. At the campsite last week, the summer long campers had their maters right out in front of the campers. I'm thinking next year I'll just plant in small containers and transport. There's nothing like homegrown... (or maybe I'll just set the camper up 'round the corner from Pat's and raid her garden ;) ).
I love tomatoes. When I was little I would stand in the kitchen at my grandma's and she would hand me slices of tomatoes as she cut them up.
My son loves matoes too.
You all are killing me. It's almost midnight here and now I am starving. More than anything I want a government cheese sandwich on wonder bread. My great-grandmother used to make them for me when I was young. I don't even think that cheese exists anymore but I'd kill for some.
My Grandfather, known simply as Papa, was deathly afraid of tomato caterpillars.
I was tiny and could easily maneuver among the tomato plants, so he'd give me a coffee can of kerosene to plonk the worms into and a wire pliers, and he'd pay me a nickel for every caterpillar I'd get off his vines. And I mean a LOT of vines.
I thought the caterpillars were pretty, but hey ... many nickels could buy some good stuff back then ... comic books, Mad magazines, Payday candy bars, Bonamo Toffee.
"Wonder bread with chunky peanut butter and Fluff." ----------------- 10:25 Heidi- I hate to bring this up,but did you get that sandwich recipe from Kate's site? Didn't she invent that & trail mix?lol My fav is peanut butter & banana sandwiches.
RORL 10doll...no I didnt but she is probably furiously calling her publishers to get it added to the book!
Oh government cheese! My sister and dad were on strike in the 70s. They both would bring home a big block of cheese. My mom would use it to make baked mac and cheese.
She would slice off hunks and I would snatch pieces to eat.
Have any of you watched the movie Spanglish?
Spanglish sandwich recipe here.

That is the best damn thing you could eat when you really want something bad!
Gub'ment cheese. Man, that was good stuff. It was curency in Guntown. Someone should make it to sell because it was DELICIOUS. I wonder where it all went? We sure didn't eat it all. It's a secret like Area 51. Aliens and gub'ment cheese...two of the biggest mysteries of our time.
And yes, Guntown is real.
