I'm joining Daphne's weekly
harvest Monday to share my harvest from last week. It was a week of tomatoes! There was a cluster of huge mortgage lifter that ripened all at once. In addition to that, I got several cherokee purple tomatoes and a couple of roma tomatoes. I couldn't keep up with all these tomatoes so I made some tomato sauce. I also harvested some longhorn peppers so I plan to make some dried peppers this week.

I love having fresh vegetables! I have to work a little bit on variety next season...but really, I can't complain. Happy gardening!
I'm with you, never enough pesto! lovely harvest this week!
ReplyDeleteYour basil looks just incredible! Nice tomatoes too; is Mortgage Lifter as good as I've heard? It certainly sounds productive.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great harvest coming from a balcony garden. Cherokee purples are my faves!
ReplyDeleteGreat harvest!! I'll have to make pesto real soon too!!
ReplyDeletethat must smell like summer!
ReplyDeleteToo many tomatoes is an excellent problem to have! The basil is gorgoeus as are the tomatoes. What a lovely combo to have at harvestable state together.
ReplyDeleteNot having enough basil? Have you tried making tomato and almond pesto on spaghetti? the ingredients are almonds, tomatoes, basil, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, & garlic. Slowly add olive oil and put on pasta with Parmesan cheese. Hope you enjoy
ReplyDeleteTomatoes and Basil..... the perfect summer food.
