Bacon Lettuce and Tomato Sandwich's

[gwpercle]

I had three nice, back yard home grown , tomatoes get ripe last week ! So two nights in a row we had BLT's for supper.....they were wonderful . Those first tomatoes of the season always taste so good....
I made mine on toast Wonder Bread with Blue Plate mayo , a little lettuce and a lot of bacon and tomato....they were so messy good.
One bush is loaded with big green ones , two other bushes are later producing . I like to use different varieties so they all don't get ripe at the same time. And with three different varieties , my odds of beating the insects , wilt and everything else that kill the plants are better. This is what my Dad did....always plant at least three different types.
I just love back yard BLT's ....a tuna salad and tomato sandwich isn't bad either.
What can I do to encourage those green ones to start turning red........I talk to them every day .
I need another BLT fix !

Just go done with supper, BLT's on potato bread.

Man, I love fresh BLTs, too, but the deer around here will masticate nearly ripe 'maters, every one of them. I tried hanging a planter under a stepladder, which I placed on the concrete driveway right by the house and those yard bandits got all of 'em right before picking time. Can't shoot 'em, either.

Sounds like a case of justifiable nuisance deer elimination .... I got a compound bow and some broad head arrows that are real quite....no noise hardly at all. You welcome to borrow it !

Thanks, GW! This is a developed neighborhood, used to be an old hill country ranch. Lots of trees, horses, but few fences and just full of soft hearted wimmin who put out deer feeders and counsel the 'rehoming' of snakes. You should hear the digital wailing on Nextdoor when someone observes a deer with an arrow sticking out of it. I prefer my hell in the next life, thanks very much. HEB will have to do.

Looking forward to that! But it is 2 months away at a minimum...

You've gotta be kidding. I just planted tomatoes 2 days ago and was rushing it at that.

I like BLT's with a slice of onion, slice of Am. cheese, some sliced avocado, and one fried egg over easy. Now THAT'S a sammich!

I have had a bacon and tomato sandwich for breakfast every day for the last 4 weeks.
Nueces: I have a major deer problem here. They jump my 8 1/2 foot fence with ease. I have electric fence wires down every row of vegetables and 3 feet back from the fence to keep the deer out. It is working, but it takes me 30 min each morning to turn off the fences and remove the wires feeding them from the charger. Same in the earning to put them back. I have only forgotten to turn one off twice this year.

My Mother used to place green tomatos on a window sill in the house facing South to hasten their ripening.Robert

How much for a MFRB of tomatoes ? LOL Be a while 'fore we got ripe ones here - maybe some fried green ones in a month.

Back in the 80's when I lived in Montreal, I had a 1 acre garden just across the border in New York. I would send my father in Baton Rouge a 20 pound box of tomatoes each week (end of July and August) . It was too hot down here for tomatoes in the summer . It would cost about $20 to ship them back then.

Putting in our plants this weekend. Yes I am jealous until we get 90+ degree days.

[mold maker]

I've often had fresh tomatoes at Christmas, but never this early. I'm jealous.
