Title: Tomatoes?
Post by: Knoll on August 28, 2014, 07:04:09 pm

How's yours doing?
Mine are almost kaput.  Half ripened ones will need to come in house & go on window sill 'cause bugs are after them.
But it was a great season!

Mine got hit with late blight recently before most would be ready to pick. Looked like a frost hit them over night. The fruit we tried to save rotted on the kitchen counter before they ripened. I hauled 2 large(55gal) garbage bags with 16 or 20 tomato plants full of fruit to the dump.   >:(   :( I did get to make one batch of stewed tomatoes for later.

Just like you fry anything else. Dip slices of green tomato in milk then seasoned flower with some cornmeal in it and throw it in hot grease.
 Did she make any fried crook neck squash, Eddie. She cooks that good too. Ain't much that Tina or Steve cooks that ain't good.  :)
