Hello,
One the evening, Leroy and I went to
the garden to water and pick whatever. On the way home we saw some people out
that we could give some tomatoes and cucumbers too. One guy seemed pleased to
get them. Then he told us, “I am a chef. I am thinking of opening a vegetarian
restaurant with just twelve dishes.”
He went on to talk about the
possibilities. Leroy and I moved farther on and he came along talking the
entire time. We covered two blocks and he was still with us. Finally we gave
some more tomatoes away to a closer neighbor. I turned to him and said, “We are
almost home. I hope your plans work out for you. Good–bye.”
He finally turned and headed off up
the street. In retrospect, I wonder if he was drunk because he was talking so
loudly and it is very rare that anyone would walk such a distance with us. The tomatoes
this year have been so fine it is fun to give them away. I did have quite a few
one day and we got some from our home garden so I canned four quarts. I am
happy to do that too because we will enjoy them in the winter.
I also like home canning because it is
less throw away packaging. No plastic involved.
