Last week we drove near Bradenton to pick tomatoes...this huge tomato business is having trouble finding folks to pick their crop of tomatoes so they opened their fields up to U-Pick, letting folks pick up to 25 lbs. of tomatoes for only $1!!!! We picked $6.00 worth...although we felt like we got way more than that for our money! Our daughter-in-law, Dianna helped us pick as well as spent the next two mornings helping us can them all up, yielding 54 quarts plus 4 pints!!!! There were still plenty to eat fresh and share with family/friends.
Our own little container garden is doing VERY well and we have tomatoes, broccoli, cucumbers, chives, basil and parsley. The days are starting to feel very much like SUMMER, although we are getting a 3-day respite this week before it heads back toward the 90's!
