Crazy the difference a long cool spring makes on harvest timelines. My first four ripe tomatoes I picked today vs. what I picked on this date last year!

Omg, what did you do with so many tomatoes?
0Desperately try to foist them on friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, passing dog walkers, the mailman... anybody who'd take some 😆
Beyond that, we'd eat tomato based meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and we canned dozens of pints of salsa and sauce (that we're still eating!).
