Hi Jeff – I now have a couple of litres of intense tomato paste. Perfect for Friday pizzas! JT

It’s tomatoey-intense!

Hi Jemma – I tend to give my surplus away to neighbours and friends. Getting the right amount planted is a bit of a lesson for me which I’m not cracked yet. I am however happy to give away surplus and people seem happy to accept it.

Do you have any good fruit or veg swaps out your way? You are going to have one swell winter full of your own produce, how fabulous!

Aw Alli – that’s a bummer. I just bought myself some feijoas and it makes me will my little tree to grow faster. No figs this year either which is a shame but I can always hold out hope for next year.

Hi Sue, I gave some to my neighbours yesterday and they seems pretty pleased. Also, a friend has sent me a new fish recipe to try as I’m frankly a little sick of just tomato sauce 😮

Inspired maybe Mairi to stick a couple in pots in your lovely garden next year?

I had my first crop of figs and feijoa this year and unfortunately I have been working overseas so the birds have enjoyed them…boo hoo

And I have been relieving mine by slow roasting all the tomatoes with onions and garlice, mixing with a dollop of chipotle sauce, and eating ravenously with corn chips. Delish. I’m also getting into the vibe of giving them away. I just love the look on the face of the recipient who just can’t believe their luck at getting a bag of gorgeous home grown toms. I guess that’s why we grow too many in the first place.
