Wait, it rained recently? YOUR KIDDING ME?
The rains have finally ended, for now. BUT, not without some problems!
Below The weight of the rains, plus storms, and the fact that, I simply haven't been outside to tie the slightly taller vines up, means, some branches inevitably broke off. Sadly, as you can see below, I lost a few tomato, too, with the breakage.
I was telling both @shadowspub and
@dreemsteem about having all these Green tomato (and a couple tiny semi red ones) and they both suggested I make some Salsa Verde! So, back to the garden to cut some fresh Chives, grab a couple Red Onion, a few small semi red/green cherry tomato, some cilantro, and a pair of banana pepper.
Salsa Verde (soonish)!
I chopped the green tomato, diced the onions, and then, blanched both (water in a bowl, w/ veggies and zap in micro a few moments to soften/heat them)
Finely chop the chives and cilantro!

Below a Few pulses, to rough chop, then, add some fresh lime juice!
Below Another PULSE or ten!
Above Add some sweet heat, with some diced banana pepper!
And then, into the jars:
I ended up with two large jars(16oz) of Salsa Verde, and a smaller half filled (4oz) jar. I personally don't eat Salsa Verde, but, my daughters BOTH love it. I had one test it. She says,
"WOW, a good balance of Lime juice, Sweet, and a tiny hint of heat!"
