Sal!

You are being generous!!!

I am just a humble messenger,

All thanks here go to contractor buddy Jim and his Italian wife's heritage - 4 generations of her family, mostly Grandfather & Uncles, growing these monster tomatoes here in San Mateo.  

Keep us posted,

Ours won't make it by the 4th, Darn it, but they will be close!  Funny thing, the ones coming as "volunteers" in the compost pile are going to beat the "planted ones"!!

Looking good Mike, I can't believe they're almost ready to enjoy.
I started mine with seeds, as I usually do

They were taking their time, but looks like I'll be eating tomatoes in 10 days or so...can't wait


My seeds for some reason didn't make it this year, these are all from CA, from Wayne's buddy.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Two of My plants got so tomato bound, they fell on themselves.
Gave It two weeks and pulled them off the plants as they started to turn.
They are Bigger than your fist and in the window sill for now.
The cherry plants are producing ripe ones as big as a quarter. ;)
Life is Good!

Finally getting ripe, it won't be long for me to enjoy some


These have nothing added but rain water, some in the back row are really big, should be called pumpkinmaters :)

One of our favorite summer dinners this time of year —

Half a BBQ'd Ribeye

Tomato, cucumber, red onion, oil & vinegar salad

2-Day Sourdough bread to soak up the juices

Fresno State Corn on the Cob

The fresh home-grown tomatoes are the key.

Pretty good groceries...

Those look really good Mo, enjoy them!

Fred, I was not aware you guys at the opposite side of the coast enjoy them fixed the same as we do.
That is also the way I like them best. My wife has added a splash of balsamic vinegar to that same  recipe
recently and I must say it tastes even better.

Today I was in the mood for pizza for lunch, I'm actually having it now and will probably go back and grab another slice :)

Made the dough and cooked some of those wonderful tomatoes from CA with olive oil, 1 piece of garlic and oregano.
Placed the dough in the oven for 5 minutes and then added the tomatoes that were cooked for about 15 minutes, bufala mozzarella, this mozzarella tastes really good, I got it at Costco if anyone is interested.

Pizza came out very tasty and crispy.
