Roots and Shoots: Lots of Green Tomatoes

Lots of Green Tomatoes

The cool, rainy weather continues here and I noticed today that one of the tomatoes was rotting on the vine. So I packed it in, and harvested them all. Five pounds of mostly green tomatoes. I think a few of them will ripen off the vine but most of them won't. Any ideas for green tomato recipes?

The fall garden still has some good stuff going on. Lettuce is still coming, and carrots and beets are still putting in some time in the dirt. I planted these bush beans in mid-August, just for the heck of it but not really knowing if the'd have enough time to produce before it got cold. They seem to be coming along alright, and little teeny beans are growing a bit every day.

The Project

To grow my first vegetable garden in our yard in Nanaimo's old city for learning, healthy eating, and fun. For interest's sake I'll keep track of the economics; can this garden, made up of two 8x10 plots and some pots on the patio, produce at least $200 worth of food, which was the approximate cost of the soil, seeds and materials. (I know, I know, costs will be less over the years because I don't need to buy grow lights and pots every year, but just for the sake of this little experiment, lets set the bar high and shoot for $200).
