I got an early start today on the tomatoes. I went to harvest what was ready, not too many but enough. I decided to cut a few up just to eat and try the new varieties I planted. My MIL and Austin joined in on the taste testing. Austin liked them all. I thought the Lemon Boy was pretty good and MIL said she liked the orange one but still thinks red tomatoes are the best. I have to agree with her. I don't know/remember all the different varieties I planted. I have lost the diagram I had.
Anyhow, thanks for the replies on yesterday's blog. Austin tells me that the gal he got the fruit from called it a onion cucumber but all of you thought it was a lemon cucmber. I have to say a lemon cucumber makes more sense, it really doesn't look like a onion.
I did get a chance to to make some tomato sauce with my Sauce Maker. What a time saver! No peeling or coring the tomatoes. I love it. I'm sure its going to make great applesauce.
I better go, chores need to be done.
