If you click on the picture you can taste the tomatoes. They are still warm from the sun.
I did not grow these tomatoes or the onions – my oldest son Eric did. Have you ever known anyone to grow backyard onions? I haven't. I am so impressed. He started with a hard packed backyard at his girlfriend's rental. He rototilled, amended, watered, nurtured and now he is harvesting.
The onions are actually crisp. Has anyone else noticed the decline in grocery store onions? They are kind of flabby or rubbery. Not firm and crunchy like they should be. I diced some of these up for a meatloaf and I wanted to just eat them raw they smelled so good.
I think I shall carmelized the onions, roast the tomatoes and make some fabulous sauce with this harvest. I wonder if I can talk him into making me some fresh pasta…..
We have had only two ripe tomatoes so far. I think the cool weather is slowing down the plants. Eric’s tomatoes are beautiful!
Very nice! I bet he’s thrilled with his harvest.
Our tomatoes are starting to produce in a nice quantity now (this is early for us) and I unintentionally harvested a few onions a couple days ago. The weeds got completely out of control while we were away and some onions came up with the weeds I was pulling. You’re right-it is nice to have fresh ones. The store ones are lousy right now.
