I'm so keen to do this!  While my inlaws were here on Sunday, my husband reiterated our plan to put a greenhouse at the back of the stableyard.  It might not be by next year, though...  ::)

You can probably get away with growing them outdoors where you are. Just buy a grow bag and rig up some sort of a support system. Get a head start by using small plants instead of seed.

Like Larabee says, plenty of tomatoes are happy to grow outside in a warm, sunny spot in a growbag. You can even look for 'outdoor types' if you want to be sure of more success

Yeah, I have mine in £6 pots and compost and they are very happy as long as I remember to water them if we're not getting rain. Pretty much everyone I know has tomatoes in their garden in pots or grow bags :)

Okay, I'm doing this next year.  I'll start them from seeds inddors, then bring them out to the sunny-nearly-all-day spot at the far end of the stableyard and let them flourish there when they're big enough.  Yay!

My husband is interested in my fried green tomato attempt tonight (and hopefully this will be as successful as the egg rolls and corn dogs were), and if it's good we'll have a plan for obtaining green tomatoes in the future.  :)

It worked!  Mine didn't look quiiite like the picture on the recipe page, but they were crispy and nice.  Also, I had lots of coating and only one tomato, so I did some jalapeno slices and a few bits of chicken cut from the breasts I was pounding out for our chicken sandwiches.

Photos attached are before the tomato slices were fried, and the finished plate.

Looks gorgeous!   :D  I can't believe she let you leave with only one tomato though when clearly you were interested in them!

Well, they weren't ripe yet.  I don't think she understood what I wanted.  But after trying to give me the two that were going red, she gave me the one I specifically asked for, and I didn't want it to get awkward and make it into a big thing.  I was happy just to get this one!

Ahh, well, next year you can take her some fried green tomatoes, then she will understand!  :)

I'm back to low carb since getting back from my eating holidays and 16lb weight gain.  I've lost those 16lbs already and working on the last 20. Stuart is down 6lbs.

My last 2 meals.

Asian slaw with chicken thighs and ginger peanut sauce. (Made by me) Seriously,  the best thing I've ever cooked.

And tonight's dinner of ribeye, cream of mushrooms and onions and a cheese and ricotta stuffed marrow.

We went to Pizza Punks today.
OMG, the rosemary garlic bread. Amazing. Worth going all the way to city center just for the garlic bread.

The pizza was nice. A bit too much sauce. And the sausage... it was a pepperoni pizza and they put this hot sausage on it. Pretty much cleared out my sinuses, had by ears ringing, and my mouth burning, that sausage did. Oy-yoi-yoi! HOT. But good. Next time no sausage, though.

Thanks! I had gained mostly water weight anyway so it sounds more impressive than it is. Lol

But I can fit into my smaller size uniform tops now! I'm now down 20lbs. I ideally want to lose another 15lbs. That will give me a 5lb margin to bounce around in.
