The end of the tomatoes....

As most of you know, we have a garden each year----Well, LaWanna has a garden each year and I get elected to help  YUK.....She does good but I am afraid if we had to depend on our garden for survival-----we would starve.     I think she does it because the profit tells us to.......ANYWAY, last year all thru the growing season we harvested very few totatoes but had large vines--about the end of september the tomato plants started putting on tomatoes, tons of them, but, in october when the growing season ends, we had tons of green tomatoes.   So we used an old indian trick (learned from Monna) and we picked every dang green tomato and ended up with 4 buckets full and we put them in used cardboard fruit separators, "from the produce section of Stater Brothers market. then we put them up in several closets where it is dark and cool and waited for them to ripen-----these are the last of  LAST  YEARS  tomatoes--pretty good huh. I guess they lasted for about 8 flapping months......WHAT A SAGA.   anyway, these are them---we have been eating last years tomatoes they ripen for months.....
