The Frog Protector of my Garden

I went to the garden today and checked on my incoming tomatoes.  I thought this guy was some bird poop or something mushy.  He sure was mushy.  He has eyes too.  Froggy Froggy, Guardian of the Tomato.

Mema's Picking and Tomato Pie

Mema came to visit and requested to do the tomato picking.  Here is what she and Chaney picked.

Tomato Pie (Round 2)

This time I used the following:

• Approx 6-8 tomatoes (varied sizes)
• 1/3 of a Vidalia Onion
• 2 Yellow Summer Squash
• 4 cloves of garlic pressed
• 1 block cream cheese
• 1 redi made pie crust
• basil & oregano
• 1 package of shredded Mozzarella Cheese
• Bread Crumbs
• Feta Cheese crumbles

This one turned out real nice.  Very good flavor.  Not as Garlicky as last time.  I did forget the spinach from the store.

Next one I will try fresh basil, maybe even Ricotta cheese.

On a side note, my seed saving is underway and doing well.

Tomato Pie...Mmmm Mmmmm Good!
