Fresh Garden Produce
Last night I had a craving. I wanted nachos. I had red onions, cheese and tortilla chips. I needed more. I braved the ferocious man-eating mosquitoes and headed to my garden where I plucked 2 red, ripe, delicious Roma tomatoes and a fresh jalapeño.
I chopped up the veggies and scattered them on a bed of chips, covered with freshly shredded cheese. Pop in microwave for 1 minute et voila! Tasty nachos.
The tomatoes were sweet and delicious, the jalapeño hot, but not too hot.
Tonight I thought my dinner was missing something. So, once again, I braved the mosquitoes and plucked 2 more red, ripe tomatoes from the garden.
I chopped the roma up in slices, drizzled olive oil over them and lightly peppered them.
Here’s the problem: I have tomatoes ripening at an alarming rate. I have a ton of Romas ripening and some larger ones just turning a brilliant red and begging to be picked. I also have jalapeños and green beans ready to pick.
Won’t someone PLEASE come and pick from my garden? My chest freezer won’t be operational until almost October, so I can’t freeze everything, and since I’m the only one who really wants to eat tomatoes or jalapeños, I need some salsa fanatics to make their way over and pick some.
Please.
The produce is free. The only thing I ask is this: while you’re picking a couple things, pull a couple weeds in return. And be sure to wear some bug spray, those little buggers will eat you alive!
I'll be coming over this evening!
Well, trying to move stuff, but I’ll take tomatoes!
Oh, is it that time?
See MY tomatoes (planted July 4th you will recall) are not yet full grown, let alone close to producing fruit.
Ha ha ha ha!
Maybe I can get it together a little earlier next year!
mmm... tomatoes
Will there be any left in a couple weeks? I’m going to be gone for a while, otherwise I’d totally be there, pulling weeds and all.
