LOL, I have about two pounds so far. They're slowly ripening for some reason... Which is good as if they all ripen close to together, I'd be drowning in them. I could freeze them if my freezer had space and then toss them in sauce for pasta, but not enough space...

My neighbour is pissed... Last year they tried and ended up with an unsightly mess of a bush with few fruits. Mine is a huge unsightly mess that I will have to account for next year. I need to find those 8' poles...

Maybe you could share a few with your neighbor. It would be a shame to freeze them. Cherry tomates are great for oven roasting and using on pizza or pasta or a tomato tart.

Not on good terms with that neighbour. They're hostile towards me actually in a passive aggressive way. I decided to share some with one of my other neighbours who does appreciate the fact that I have a (somewhat) green thumb. I'll make some sort of tomato sauce in the next day or so and toss some in there with any additional tomatoes I harvest.

Next year, gotta find some long poles so I can trellis the tomato bushes. The cages I have aren't big enough.

So kinda took corky's advice. Blistered some of those tomatoes and made a salad... Romaine, some feta, some cucumber and black olives and balsamic drizzle....

I love how they get sweeter. I usually put some garlic with them, Great to make bruschetta too.
My dinner : Trader Joe Italian Wedding soup. Just so so.

Interesting. Mine were kinda tart. But were mellowed a bit by the balsamic vinaigrette. I thought about making a salsa, but after a long day, did not want to try to do too much intricate knifework.

I add some balsamic to the olive oil & garlic when roasting. I think the vinegar carmelizes and adds to the sweetness.

Curry puffs were really fried hockey pucks but I survived.
