We are harvesting cherry tomatoes by the kilo. Daily. Really! I don't know what Pete was thinking when he planted so many plants. Not that I'm complaining. Having a bumper crop of one vegetable or another is one of the many things that I love about having a backyard veggie garden.

This is our first year with a proper vege garden and we've been harvesting many cherry tomatoes too. I made my first ever tomato sauce this week and some relishes will be on the list next. What a fantastic idea to swap some tomatoes for your bread.
