these are the little beauties that have been ripening in the kitchen. of course there were more and you'll have to take me at my word that the best ones have been eaten.
whilst purchasing the plants in the spring i noticed some "yellow tomato plants" and couldn't resist picking one up and son of a bitch, i grew a yellow tomato and it's feckin huge. i took a picture of it beside ruby so you see just how big it is!
after a little fishing i decided to make some "butter toffee" coffee. it seems i fished a little too much and here's the result; the foot of god. i thought there was an image of jesus in the spilt coffee but after the fish wore off, jesus be gone.
on a different note, the doctor pulled me from the game and won't let me back in for at least 2 months. i don't know what the cracker factory will do without me. in fact the cracker factory doesn't really know what to do with me. this past spring they made me mentor to the young recruits but that didn't really keep me busy so i was also assigned to representing people with grievances. little did they know that i would fall in love with the book "speaker for the dead" and actually put a lot of effort into battling the evil corporation on behalf of all the aggrieved parties.
i love you sons of bitches.

So what does a yellow tomato taste like? Your one looks like a plastic sauce dispenser!
gb - it'll probably be a week or so before i'm able to assemble a camera crew to record the moment of truth. all i can say now is it sort of smells like a tomato.
That's a lovely yellow tomato! Sounds like the harvest turned out better than expected, after all.
I am proud of you for succumbing to the pull of compassion at the cracker factory. Occupy Enjoy The Moment!
Crikey, that's the biggest tomato I've ever seen. Or is it the smallest dog I've seen?)
Oh, you won't be going to the Funny Farm, BP. Jesus loves you too much. He speaks to you from coffee. And now you are doing good deeds. You'll be saved. ;)
nance - the harvest has benefited from decent weather in september. now i have to take what i've learned and apply it to next year's crop. i've figured out the best spot to plant now it's time to ponder fertilizers.
jayne - i'm pretty sure the lemon tomato is still growing. if i didn't know better i'd think there's a nuclear power plant nearby.
Don't recall ever seeing a yellow tomato but it's nice and peaceful out here in the boondocks, maybe cuz I don't get on the internut that much.
Getting some wood split up though.
I grew two kinds of yellow tomatoes this year - lemon boy and yellow pear tomatoes. The yellow ones tend to have a milder taste.
What lovely pomodori!
I, too, had some beauties as the plants were ending their bountiful season.
I made a yummy cream of tomato soup with them. And a hunk of ciabatta garlic bread.
But who would have guessed that we'd be having an 86 degree Sunday here in Boston on Oct. 9, on Columbus Day weekend? People are at the beach and slathering on sun block, sipping iced tea or drinking some nice ice cold Belgian pale ale. How can I possibly watch football or hockey under these conditions?
And, BTW, Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends.
Wow that yellow tomato is half as tall as Ruby!
Many a tomato has never made it into my house from the garden... they are too tasty off the vine warmed by the sun. All of yours look very tasty.
Yellow tomatoes are reputed to have less acid too. Congratulations on your success.
That song has always freaked me out.
I think you would make a fine Andrew Wiggin. =;]
Yellow tomatoes are a sign of the apocalypse. You better stock up on all the crackers you can.
holy shit..your a farmer. get well..
bill - are you still up for the contest after seeing my gardening skills?
secret - it's gonna be tough eating mr mellow yellow. he's already like an old friend.
shaw - pomodori? you must be an expert knowing a word like that.
static - i'm stocking up on f
silly - thanks, i was worried about turning into peter wiggin.
yellowdog - a farmer! if that isn't nice, what is?
Good job growing those tomatoes!
I only got two or three before they burned up. I grew more okra than you could shake a stick at though.
That video gave me flashbacks to my days in the "Nervous Hospital".
As a worker, not a patient!
What's the difference between a mental hospital patient and a mental hospital worker?
The keys.
BTW... I love the invitation "Bark at me".
tex - did r.p. mcmurphy ever get the keys?
silly - ruby's waiting for roxy to start barking.
Excellent gardening work BP. Hope you do not miss the cracker factory too much, and take care of yourself.
bill - are you still up for the contest after seeing my gardening skills?
Well, I can admit defeat against such a gentleman as you and honor you for a good job.
Peter Wiggins...Yikes! I could not see you torturing animals or taking over the world! Ender / Andrew was a much better person... as are you.
silly - how about new valentine?
I could not see you torturing animals or taking over the world!
As I recall, he likes to kick ass on coons, and that's okay, it's not a Walt Disney world.
And I'd be okay with him taking over the world, after he whips my ass to get control of it.
Fuck, neither of us could do any worse than the way things are now.
Oh yes you could... we still have oxygen, so far, no thanks to you, and your damn burning and breathing and whatnot!
According to the man that spent half a night at a campfire with me.
bill - we'll have to start culling the herd. any ideas where we should start?
thims - of course we could make things worse for some people but better for wasps.
Where to start? Well, anywhere other than those that know how to make beer and like to screw.
Scott tried to give me some hemp material the other day, interesting stuff, like tweed, but I can't think of any use for it, it's only about a foot wide.
R.P. mcmurphy never got the keys.
One patient did come up to me and say
"I really like this song."
It went "Make a new plan Stan, just slip out the back Jack."
I was like "Yeah, yeah, whatever."
He escaped later that day.
Maybe I can pick up some extra money making protest signs with my new letter cutter.
