Had to leave my Bradleys and Better Boys in the care of the deer, opossum and birds while I take a break from mid-TN. My Early Girls were a bit scrawny this year but my pepper plants (mostly sweet bannana) have flourished nicely.

If your tomatos are juicy enough, you can skip the artery spackle.

Currently enjoying Better Boy's, Mr.Strippies, Sweet One hundreds (Tommy Toes), German Queens, and something new to me, some Black Siberians.

Oh, least I forget. Fried green Tomatoes from the German Queens and Better Boy's.

Yes, but then it still requires enough salt to raise your blood pressure 20 points.

I'm one of those pepper people who never uses salt as a condiment. I guess my momma dropped me too many times.

personally i like to roast my tomatoes, get some chicken stock, an onion, some garlic, a bunch of cilantro and make my roasted cilanto tomatoe soup. i add ground turkey or ground beef if i want some protien.

I did some Romas in a pot last year. Got 3 great spaghetti sauces out of one plant...

2 slices of bread ( any kind)
Mayonnaise (any kind)
Sliced Homegrown tomatoes (no other kind will do)
Salt

Apply a generous coating of mayonnaise to one slice of bread.
Cover with tomato slice(s) and sprinkle with salt.
Cover with the other slice of bread and resist the impulse to slap your grandmaw while you eat it.

Change it to Wheatberry bread and Miracle Whip and add pepper to have the rbroyles 'mater samich recipe.

As to frying tomatoes, try some that are just turned ripe, still firm. I much prefer to green ones.
