I had a BLT for dinner with....

[MaggieD]

.... Huge tomatoes from my garden. Yum. It's my favorite veggie from our garden. All credit to my wife for the garden. I have no green thumb.

What's your favorite thing from your garden if you have one?

1. I don't have a garden but my brother's in-laws did -

just FYI I gave them this book for Christmas many years ago and they got a lot of use out of it:

4. That looks awesome

I'm facing an explosion right now. Plum out of ideas for fennel, zucchini and peppers. I put it on my list to buy! Thanks.

[LiberalElite]

6. Great!

I was very pleased (proud?) that it was so useful. Most gifts you never know what happened to them....ya know?

2. No garden, but I love Tomatoes, too.

I can make a meal off tomatoes, crackers and salt.

[MaggieD]

3. Or cottage cheese!

Unless you hate cottage cheese.

24. I love it cottage cheese! n/t

5. I have medium and grape size

And I think they might be my favorite, too.

Yeah, who really likes squash.

[MaggieD]

10. I don't

But my fam does. It's not awful if you slice it thick, season it, and grill it.

[libodem]

13. I'll eat it

But mostly because its good for you and my zucchini and yellow squash are producing nice specimens.

7. Guess what!

major in tomatoes, minor in peppers and eggplant!

[MaggieD]

8. Those look awesome

High five!

9. there's my baby - Cherokee Purple - just one of my collection of 5000 or so types!

of course, I only grow 100-200 per year. just a small effort!

[MaggieD]

11. Oh man, you are the tomato God!

Nice.

12. beautiful

14. That's the saving grace of summer - yard tomatoes.

The ones from the store are basically just place holders the rest of the year. BLTs with yard tomatoes are a must have in the summer.

[MaggieD]

15. +1 on that

[treestar]

17. Sounds nice!

Fresh tomatoes are the best!

18. What's your favorite thing from your garden

It's a toss up between my tomatoes and my red and white radishes... But then I'm also partial to my green onions and cucumbers.

[MaggieD]

21. My cukes are small

I don't know if we planted too late, or if they just don't take off her in the PNW. This is our first year planting them. Love cucumbers though.

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

23. Mine got huge

Some are nearly a foot long and 3+ inch diameters. Heck, a few of my red radishes were close to golf ball size and almost too hot to eat. Almost.

19. My ultimate favorite sandwich around this time of year......yuuuuuuuummmmmmmm

BLT's......just gawd's gift to those who love bacon, lettuce, and the biggest plumpest tomatoes on whatever bread you like. Personally, marble rye is still my favorite.

20. Used to Try Tomatoes

We have too many big trees, so they never got enough direct sunlight. Our yield was always crummy, but what we did get was some really good tomatoes. Different varieties, but never got more than a few off each plant. Maybe 30 a year, and as a Sicilian, 30 tomatoes barely lasts me a week.

[MaggieD]

22. I hear you

We had the same problem in the past, but we had to remove a few trees and expanded the garden as a result, and boom - crazy amount of tomatoes.
