Friday Harvest

 

Giant bowl of tomatoes that I picked from the two tomato plants that were planted outside my office window by our facility services grounds crew this spring in attempt to show our sustainability.  They had a sunny warm spot to grow and were watered with the rain and some weeks even a short shower with the garden hose but for the most part they were ignored and went unnoticed.  We picked a dozen or so that turned red in August and yesterday I decided it was time to see just how many tomatoes were out there and to our surprise a fairly hefty sum was harvested.

Over half of them will ripen up given a little time and the others will make a fine green salsa or other green tomato based dishes.
