The Bounty of the South

Mmmmmmm!  Look at these tomatoes, fresh from Papa Joe's garden.  The small ones got eaten quickly, the big ones get turned into Fried Green Tomatoes - another taste delight of the South.  Sister Johnson is bringing back the recipe to introduce this to us Westerners.

Look at these!  Papa Joe has several varieties growing, so they're canning, eating, and sharing some ripe ones now, with these coming on in a few weeks.

Here's Elder Johnson with TWO master gardeners.  You can see only a fraction of his garden from here.  One of his fig trees is directly in front of the truck, and he's promised to send us some figs when they ripen.
