Finally I have some tomatoes ripening! Check it:

This is my Tumbler Tomato that I have planted in a pot on our back porch. I also have some black cherry tomatoes that are just starting to ripen. Both of these are cherry/small tomato types. They appear to be the only ones that are anywhere close to ripening at this point, but I'll take them! Yum!

In other news, I've made two more batches of pickles. The first ones turned out really good, but I thought that they could use a bit more vinegar and more spices (I threw in some hot pepper flakes this time!). I'll see how the new batch turns out and then update the recipe if it is better.

I've also used up the last of my tomatillos from last year. I still had 1.5lbs frozen in our freezer (blanch and freeze - it's just that easy) and we were making enchiladas for dinner, so I was like "Why not some salsa verde?" And it was done. I've been using this salsa verde recipe since I've been growing tomatillos. It's really good - better than any other I've had. I tend to use a bit less jalapeños than she suggests (I only used 1/2 of a fresh one from our garden) since my partner doesn't like spicy food. Even the cilantro was from our garden, so other than the onion it was 100% Mt. Airy grown. Sweet. :)
