Well I had a sneaky feeling about that tempremental weather we have been having lately and pulled mine from the vine early..The Orleans Community gardens also closed and green tomatoes were given to me there also by the ever green loving Orleans Councellor Bob Monette and family . I have offered some up on the not so popular and now closed OttawaFoodshare group, OttawaRecycle and some FullCircles groups also but not so many bites except for Dianes H's request for some with the promse of a green salsa recipe which i used (Thanks Diane).
Here's a pic of the goodies in a jar..
Some Green tomatoes, some water vinegar, sugar,..heck some left over cranberries were thrown in and some onions also.I also made some sweet Jalepeno chutney with canned manderines and jello hehe..the Jalepenoes were from my garden and the Orleans C. Gardens.Here is the lemon Balm hanging up for drying out also.I took some cuttings and hung them up before gifting the plant..
Theres LOTS left but times are slows and no shows are common so i would imagine there is not much life left in these other than MAYBE a salsa..I havent much time time tho and exhausted my offering routine..I think they may end up in the compost..awwww...
NOT!!!!..I made a salsa..
Dont worry. It 's not like me to waste so i will try to save some seeds from them before this inevitable end.My Blackish Tomatoes scored this summer are ripening up to a dark red hue which i will take pics of as soon as i buy batteries for my ever faithful digital to run on.Thanks for the inspiration Telsing..More to come..
