Tomatoes are ripening
My tomato crop was huge this year.. Heirloom of three varieties. I harvested them before the frost and now they are nicely ripening in the garage. I love eating fresh ripe tomatoes they taste so good and remind me how grateful I am to have them for the fall. I will make spaghetti sauce and freeze a few for soup.
