You know Jill... if you had posted a thread in the Cove with this title, it just MAY have had a different pic.
Congrats on your red one, by the way.
You have a dirty mind. I like that in a person.
Back to the topic. MMMMMMMM. Fried green tomatoes. (Actually, I bake them with bread crumbs and lots of cheese.)

I love fried green tomatoes. I haven't had any since the last time I was done south visiting family.

We can't get enough sun over here to even get the plants to start growing. If the current weather holds I will have Green tomatoes about the time the first frost hits! Steven

Don't want to steal any thunder but....
We have been eating ours for 3 or 4 weeks. Boy! Round bread,ham,lettuce ,fresh tomato slices & a slathering of mayo. Boy,howdy !
Of course we had a great early start . Now our plants seem to be resting. Bunch of green marbles & blossoms. Here,they are supposed to bear until frost. Wouldn't that be a hoot ?
I sent this yesterday but my poultry guest must have destroyed it.

I have 18 plants about an hour from you Jill (I believe). Had about half a dozen red tomatoes so far, and we are loaded with green tomatoes. Had fried green tomatoes yesterday. Mrs. Powernoodle went out in the garden this morning with a Mora to get things under control and show the tomatoes who the boss is.

Nevef got mine planted. With Cleo dying I just never had the time, then I just wasn't in the mood
"The tomato whisperer" - I like that. Reminds me of my deceased dad. He loved to garden, and his specialty was tomatoes. He had an upended well curb full of soil that he kept well composted, and each spring he would spread hundreds of tomato seeds in it, to raise his own seedling plants. Then he would set out tomato plants by the score, more than he could possibly use. Always made tons of tomatoes, I think the things grew just to please him.
One spring after he retired, I was visiting when I noticed a double row of tomato plants going out of sight over the knoll, in what had once been my grandpa's cotton field next door. Must have been hundreds of them. I asked why he had done that, and he said, "Well, I had the plants and I had the time." We ate tomatoes. We canned tomatoes. We gave away tomatoes to the entire south end of Tallapoosa County. The critters ate toatoes. We had over-ripe tomato battles. Tomatoes rotted in the field. And he greatly enjoyed the whole thing.
