I faced another 8# of ripe tomatoes yesterday, and will be today. In fact, I told Hubby dinner will be very late. I'm on a mission to put up all of my ripe tomatoes. Ha!
I took time, after the tomatoes were all boiled and ice bathed, and draining, to eat breakfast on the porch. It was nice to get some Vitamin D. Then it was back to the sink and stove. By the way, that was leftover sweet potato/black bean frittata (Mmmm!)

500.8 pounds of tomatoes this year!
I made one last visit to the tomatoes. I promised myself to not even think about getting more harvested, and just pull the darn plants. I put the last of the grape tomatoes into the dehydrator, and pulled some green tomatoes. Even the green tomatoes are starting to look bad, so I'm ready to get them pulled. I pulled one plant and stake today. It's a measly start on 100-some plants, ha ha! The grand total of our tomato harvest, as of yesterday, was 500.8#!
I told the kids I'll not do that again. They all laughed at me.
