Tomatoes

I love this time of the year! It is getting cooler out but there are still lots of tomatos .



Here is what the dining room floor looked like a month ago,

And here is what the floor looks like tonight. I could double these baskets up but I want to see the fruit as it ripens, I will not put these until they are a little redder.
I have canned 35 quarts and dehydrated two batches. But it looks like there will be plenty of fresh tomatos for the hamburgers this week, and a few salads of tomatos with basil and motz. yum!!
We pick before they are just right because these came from my mothers garden. This way when I come home from work, I can put up a small batch of 6-8 quarts in the evening. That way it will not be soooo much work on Saturday.
