The last of our homegrown tomatoes. Lovingly tended, carefully picked, gently roasted and quickly scoffed*!
Enjoy your weekend everyone!
* sorry, just to clarify we didn't jeer, mock or heap derision on them, 'scoff' is brit slang - meaning to eat up very quickly!

Nothing better than homegrown tomatoes ^_^ Although I have failed (yet again!) to grow them, I really appreciate those of Mr H's grandfather. Nothing better! Fortunately, potatoes do better in my garden, so all is not loss!
Have a lovely weekend.

Scoffed?? Didn't they like them?? They look gorgeous. I have tried homegrown tomatoes for the first time this year, and I cannot believe how good they taste!

The last of ours are gone too and the empty pots are waiting to be filled with something autumnal. Perhaps his weekend....

Oh my ... they look yummy! x

Am so jealous....
Ours never got change to ripen - so now have several jars of Green Tomato Chutney slowly maturing!

Roast tomatoes - yum!

you really can't beat homegrown tomatoes. We didn't grow any this year - luckily my Dad did and I've been pinching his! We are planning to grow our own strawberries next year as Leah loves them, so have sent off for them already!

Lovely tomatoes!
Regarding "scoff" - here in the U.S. (at least in southern California) a lot of people use "scarf."

They look fab. I've only got one tomato on my plant and it is refusing to ripen... not enuff sun!

We've had a fair few tomatoes this year despite the rubbish summer - not as pretty as yours, but still very tasty!
Posted by: Caroline B | September 26, 2008 at 08:46 PM
oh hahahaha! I'm lost in giggles trying to think how one might scoff at a tomato "oi, you scurvy blushing plump lump" "yes you, you acidic ball of squish".... nope doesn't sound convincing to me! t.x

very beautiful picture and what yummy looking tomatoes!
Posted by: marlena | September 27, 2008 at 05:29 AM
Ha! That's what I love about English blogs...as an Aussie...I get the language! We would also say 'scarfed' (although I don't know if thats exactly the right spelling for it!). Jen
Posted by: frazzy dazzles | September 27, 2008 at 08:54 AM
And I'm pretty sure that they deserved to be scoffed very quickly!
Posted by: carolyn | September 27, 2008 at 02:38 PM
homegrown tomatoes are the best! yours look like they were lovely.
Posted by: marti | September 27, 2008 at 05:10 PM
I have six cherry tomatoes, lots and lots of green bullets! (All grown by mistake from compost heap soil - oops, must not have been hot enough!)
Thanks for posting Julie, makes me smile. Internet love for Toby and Amy x

Hello Julie.
What a lovely photograph. I Love home grown things, i keep meaning to add some to my personal blog, but I forget with everything else going on.
I have however got photographs of my home and garden on there- if you want a look.
Best Wishes,
Laura
( I will be writing a letter to the little girl also.)

Mmmm, I can almost smell them...
Posted by: Dragonfly | September 27, 2008 at 07:42 PM
They look lovely, and home grown tomatoes are such a treat. The "Brit slang" of scoff must be akin to the American slang of "scarf" - meaning the same thing if I am understanding correctly.
Posted by: Terri | September 28, 2008 at 03:32 AM
You scoffed (at) them? No wonder they're blushing! :) Homegrown is the best! And I think scoffing and scarfing are the same thing on different sidesof the pond.
Posted by: peggysue | September 28, 2008 at 09:33 PM
I can taste those just looking at your picture. YUM!!!
Posted by: Jane | September 29, 2008 at 02:20 AM
Oops, sheepish American here! I never knew that little piece of British slang. Thanks for educating me!
