Silent Sunday

From a friend’s garden

First Harvest

Fortunately I have a friend who has an abundance of garden tomatoes.

Midnight Snack Tomatoes

Unretouched photo of cherry tomatoes called Midnight Snack

So this happened after I posted the lone tomato pic

A knitting friend saw my lone cherry tomato harvest post with the accompanying nickel photo . She’d had an abundant harvest. There was a box of raspberries too but I ate them before I thought to take a pic.

Here’s what she brought me and I threw them into olive oil and garlic (thanks David) and turned them into a fresh tomato sauce.

Thank you Joanna.

Still Life of a Friend’s Harvest

Today I got a special delivery of tomatoes, cucumber and basil from a friend’s garden. She delivered the produce to my front porch.

Steve and I enjoyed the tomatoes at supper.

Summer tastes delicious

James Grew Basil

And it made delicious pesto

I’m familiar with my ole magimix food processor . This was a Cadillac
summer supper

Bob’s Red Mill Vegi Soup Mix

The Last Tomatoes

Combined my few tomatoes, the ones my neighbor brought over and some brown cherry tomatoes from the store- olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper and a pinch of Italian Seasoning.

Once the sauce cooked down a bit, I tossed in some drained penne and added freshly grated Parmesan. Salad on the side. Delicious supper

It was the combination of colors that invited me to capture this photo.

The Sum of the Harvest

A chubby groundhog has been devouring my tomatoes. The ones that were taking time to turn red. These two little yellow tomatoes are all I have to show for my farming efforts this summer. Next year I’ll have to put up a chicken wire fence.
One homegrown tomato apiece.
They were delicious but you definitely experienced a hankering for more.
