Tomatoes

Today was a drizzly, wet day on the homestead.  Luckily yesterday was not and I was able to get out to my garden and pick all my ripened tomatoes.  I have been saving them, trying to get enough to can and I did it!  The simple joys right? 

So we did 23 cans of tomatoes  that will be put away in the basement to use over the cold winter months for dishes such as spaghetti, macaroni, or casseroles.  

This year we also planted an orange tomatoe.  I'm not sure if you can really tell by this picture but these are the orange ones.  We haven't canned them yet, that's tomorrows job.  These are really low acid so if you suffer from cankers a lot then these are the tomatoes for you.  They also have a bit sweeter taste to them than the beef steak ones.  I really enjoyed them and will definitely be planting them again next year.

What have you been harvesting?
