The latest and not quite last crop (still lots of green tomatoes clinging to life and hope) from the now freshly weeded, thanks to The Little One, potager.
As we speak, the wooden cageot (crate?) of tomatoes, picked this morning, is being turned into sauce for the winter. Andrea and I just returned from the market with carrots, garlic and onions, which we did not plant chez nous. We have celery in the garden, which will also be added to the sauce, at least I think it will be. Let's be honest, I'm not the one making it. I'm the one watching it being made.
Remember I appreciate the domestic arts, and occasionally try my hand, but this skill, I believe, "depasses," as the French say my competence.
Or, as one of my best French friends cautions, "If you don't want to do something; don't tell anyone you know how to do it."
Et voila!
A demain for the weekly calendar.

LETITIA! what a crop! I admire and envy you, I love tomatoes. the Little one here( 5ft11...) managed 6 cherry tomatoes this year; in her defense, Larchmont does not exactly qualify as la campagne... bravo to both fermieres/ cuisinieres.
I have to say my cucumbers are at an end, but as I have picked well over 50 I am not sorry to see them come to an end! Still masses of tomatoes, peppers,chillies and beans. Diane
Those tomatoes are gorgeous! My cherry tomatoes just keep on coming, and now that we're finally having a heat wave I'll probably get another wave of ripening (while we're out of town, bien sur!).
I think my fennel may be just about ready to come out of the ground, though...
I have tagged you.......if you fancy having a go pop over to mine!!
teeeheee! Elle a raison! Oh how sensuous vegetables are...the flavor, texture and the possibilities are those small wonders in life that make me want to raise my pink champagne glass every time! ENJOY LE WEEK-END dearest! Anita
Those tomatoes look amazing and there are so many what a great crop! I love the way fresh home grown tomatoes smell...you don't get that with the ones sold at grocery shops...
Your potager has been very fruitfull this summer, you must be so pleased.
Have fun in the kitchen!
Those tomatoes look divine !!
I have tagged you in a fashion post over at mine I thought you may enjoy it xx
Your crop is bountiful this year & such beautiful colors of red. Transforming these beauties into a gorgeous sauce sounds like fun; watching or cooking. Now I desire a tasty lasagna or spaghetti.
Wishing you a fabulous fall weekend. xo Deb
Hi Tish!
OOH your last crop looks good! I wish I could be there making sauce, hope you're having a glass of vino whilst slaveing away in the kitchen! Maryanne xo
Happy cooking Tish, I wouldn't mind hanging around your kitchen today!

Excellent advice Tish. I'll have to remember that.
Lovely tomates.
