if you put anything else on your tomato sandwich then it's not a fucking tomato sandwich...

Our mater plants are about to fall over with maters. Gotta love it.

 

[wossa]

yep - ours too. One last gasp before summer is over.

Do you leave your maters on the vine until they turn red? My father-in-law takes his off when they start turning, but I've always thought that was kinda soon.

I try to let them get as red as possible on the vine. But when there are tons on the plant you'll have too many too ripe at the same time. You can pick them when they are still orange and they'll ripen fast enough.

One problem leaving them on too long is it gives birds, squirrels and other critters more time to nibble - especially when it's drought time like it is now

It occurred to me after I'd logged off that you had a pic of yours on the vine. Duh. Good thinking though.

whatever you do, don't put that shitty-ass Dukey's mayo on your tomato sandwich. Go with Hellman's.

also, Brisk iced tea should be your drink of choice
