We have been busy picking, jarring & eating hundreds of pounds of pomodori from our garden! Just as we think we are caught up its time to pick again & we haul up another 10 crates from the garden overflowing with bright red juicy tomatoes. And this is considered a "bad" year - after a mid-summer storm destroyed about half our crop.
Tell-tale Signs of Tomato Jarring:-crates of tomatoes stacked up around every corner I turn
-our clothes are covered in tomato guts
-filled jars ready to be labeled and stacked in cantina
-random tomatoes tossed about the yard
-my fingers are stained pinkish-red from jamming my fists into the jars
- somehow I didn't notice, head to town with tomato seeds on in my hair -those tiny little suckers stick to everything & everywhere!!
...finally an irrational irritability when anyone mentions the word 'pomodoro'
We have 7 varieties all bursting with flavor & just beggin' to be popped in your mouth still warm with that undeniable taste of the garden!
Time to buy more jars....

ReplyDeleteAsh,
ReplyDeleteI just love your blog. For the second time now it has inspired me to update my own blog to reflect some of the wonderful things you have here (pop over to take a look and pat yourself on the back). I miss you both and am thinking about my next visit. I know! I said not next year but...
we'll see.
Wow-can I say I am incredibly jealous and dream of having a stash of canned tomatoes like yours!
