It's Supposed to Be March

I pulled these off the plants in the backyard and spent an afternoon making tomato sauce for a lasagne.

I hadn't been in the back in a while and we haven't had a lot of rain, so who knows when these got watered last. I honestly kind of forgot about them because they're last summer's plants. Remarkable. And delicious. This is my kind of time warp.

Winter Crops

Well, the tomatoes ripened.

Going to throw them on a pizza to see how they are.

LAJen was the only one who took me up on betting when they would ripen, so I guess she is the winner! (And she was only a week off.)

Weighing In...

...at nearly two pounds. Now that's a tomato!

Tomorrow, see what I did with it!

The Way It Grows

Rob bought this plastic seed incubator, kind of a cheap terrarium, to get some vegetables going.

Some of the seeds we saved from vegetables we got from the farmer's market. The tomato seeds have to be put through a weird fermentation process, to get them to sprout, but so far so good.

The rest of our seeds came from here or from eBay. Woo-hoo internet!
