Tomatoes

It looks like this year's crop of tomatoes may be a combination of good growing weather and over planting. Mary has canned 11 quarts of tomato puree and 64 quarts of spaghetti sauce.

We were in Iowa last week visiting our new granddaughter Myra and returned to find a garden of ripe tomatoes.



We don't know the name of this variety of tomato, but it's a large meaty paste type heirloom tomato. A friend gave us some of these heirloom tomato seeds years ago and we have been growing them since then. Some of this year's tomatoes are the size of softballs.
