Tomato Time





             Hey there! Sorry that I haven't been blogging, summer vacation and school have really tied me up, but the garden has been growing great and our little paradise is blossoming. Recently picked tomatoes are the best thing to curb hunger and that sweet crave. All kinds of tomatoes have grown here, mr. stripeys, striped green tomatoes, brandywines, roma's, black cherokees ect. These pictures show our recent harvest including homegrown corn, cucumbers, and melons. Today I am giong to share my own made up recipe for roasted cherry tomatoes ( this also works for normal ones too but the cherrys get really crispy).
