I have once again given tomatoes to my neighbors

Shout out to @omg-physics and @modern-solarpunk for giving things to their neighbors and reminding me that I also have things I could give to my neighbors (read: the aforementioned tomatoes)

The tomatoes weren’t as big as they were last time, I don’t think, but people still liked them!

Before

After

One of the tomatoes was rotting a little and I didn’t realize until the very end when someone pointed it out so OOF but!!!! It was fun

Highlights:

- People recognized me from last time, I think I’m becoming Tomato Girl

- Some people who didn’t get tomatoes last time got tomatoes this time! One family wasn’t home last time, one family wasn’t home and had actually just moved in a few months ago, so I was actually the first neighbor they’ve talked to!

- Third family I didn’t ring their doorbell last time because they had a ‘baby sleeping don’t knock or ring doorbell’ sign on their door. But they saw me on their Ring camera and hurried out to catch me before I got to the next house!! The ‘Baby’ is now 5 years old, they just keep the note on the door because it deters solicitors. But I, as a Neighbor and The Tomato Girl, am allowed to ring the doorbell whenever! They were sad they missed me and my dad last time lol

It was hot outside and I was sweating like crazy, but seeing how excited everyone got about the tomatoes made it sooo worth it!!

August 7th and our cherry tomatoes are just starting to ripen. Last year, around this time, we'd already harvested several pounds of them. 

The romas are nowhere close to being ripe. What a weird gardening year! Our neighbours with a roadside stand also don’t have anything for sale yet. Last year, their stand was always full of produce. 7-Aug-2023

Hey if anyone is in or around Etowah Country, the Etowah High School agriculture class is growing plants in the greenhouse that will be sold in the spring. Some of what we are currently growing includes:

- Black-eyed suisons

- morning glories

- Wildflowers

- Geraniums

- Roma tomatoes

- cherry red tomatoes

- bell peppers

There's a lot more that we currently have growing, and a large variety of seeds that we have yet to plant! If anyone is interested in this, I'll add the prices to this post as soon as I learn them.

Please keep in mind though these are the plants, and not the product of any of the plants we are growing.

And here are some close ups up the geraniums we're growing that have started to bloom as well

And here is the link for the agriculture class facebook page if you want more information or you want to see our progress in growing our plants:

Forgot to post this in the morning but I got my first Roma today. Had it with breakfast.

"Holy Shit, did Ani just do a Praxis?"

Kinda I guess!

So if you know me, you know that I really like gardening. I also may have mentioned in the past that one of my dreams is to grow so much food that I can just give it away to neighbors. And. Well. Sure did manage it today!

So between last week's tomato and pepper harvest...

...and TODAY's tomato and pepper harvest (which, holy shit)

We have now reached the point that my dad is running out of recipes he can use to cook and eat all these tomatoes. And while he's determined to learn more, for now, we gotta do something with them, right?

So we washed everything down and put them in some of the biggest bowls we've got so we could tour the cul-de-sac and offer them to our neighbors! All of them! Including ones we've never talked to before!

We've got 15 houses total on our street (not including ours), but one of them is unoccupied (they moved out and no one has moved in yet). We stopped at every single one. Five of them weren't home, one family didn't want any. Everyone else took at least four or more tomatoes and/or peppers.

This is what we had left when we got back home.

So I'd say it was a success! I'd also say that we're probably gonna have to do this again.

This is wild to me. In all our previous years of growing tomatoes, we've never gotten this many at once. I think we've never even gotten this many before in a season. And I hope we get to do this a lot more!
