Every year I shoot for ripe tomatoes by the first of July. This time, along with the other varieties, I bought one Early Girl bush and gave it a try. First ripe tomato came on June 16th! Now the Better Boys and Romas are in and we're wallowing in tomatoes. (Hey! Put that rolling pin down!) Been eating a bunch and drying some of them for use in tomato herb breads, but I'm still left with more than I can use. Thanks for the ideas for what to do with them. BTW, I love the laid back, sometimes-things-aren't-perfect tone of your blog. Miss seeing the entries on those days when you don't post.
You're lucky, Gin - congrats! Tomorrow's blog will tell you something else to do with fresh tomatoes... PJH
