We planted cherry tomatoes, yellow pear tomatoes, Roma tomatoes and then plain old beefsteak tomatoes.
Someone in our house LOVES tomatoes after all!
But the only plant that really did well was the yellow pear tomato. In fact the other two plants (in the same bed) got blossom end rot! Really sad, and I guess next year we need to feed them some calcium early!
When we planted 4 tomato plants in May, we were hopping for a huge haul and some serious canning.
After the nice hot weather we've had the last few weeks we had about 3 lbs of ripe tomatoes. Not nearly enough to can with!
So, I made tomato soup tonight instead!
In know we've been really slacking on the whole Sunday Supper thing. (But Gabe was in NC all week and it was tough being a single working mom all week!) I do promise we'll be back to hosting Sunday Suppers again before the year is over. Things will settle down a bit here after Gabe gets back from hunting with his dad next week!
Anyway...the soup was really easy!
Saute up some red onion and carrots.
Put it through a food mill, add some cream and enjoy!
Since fall is officially here we also made pumpkin pancakes and pumpkin bread today. Autumn is the yummiest season of all!

We've got about 45 lbs. of various varieties of tomatoes in the freezer - waiting to be made into sauce in a few months. Then there's all the 10 varieties of peppers that Tom either smoked with Chipotle or just dried. This Fall has been beautiful here. Not too excited about winter right around the corner. Can't wait for fresh venison, though. Love, Joey
Yummmmm! That looks so great! I wish I was there to eat it with you! Miss you Heidi!

The soup sounds and looks so good. Next year I hope to garden again.
Twenty-three more work days before retirement; if I can get all the stacks of paperwork done. Plus had 24 hour flu this weekend after a cold during the week. I do need to retire. Missed seeing Gabe as I was as the doctor's office. Hope they are having good luck.
Lve, Winnie
