2Rio Salsa

It must not take much of a green thumb to grow tomatoes. I've never grown a thing but the tomatoes I planted in mid May are running riot. The plants are chest high and sending vines just about everywhere. Three of the four plants actually have tomatoes!

Planting these tomatoes was my first step to making 2Rio Salsa. That's something else I've never done. This morning I've been looking for directions and found these, a starting point, perhaps--looks like a lot of chopping is required--but I also need to learn how to preserve the salsa. I think it would be pretty neat to send 2River contributors a jar of 2Rio Salsa. Who wants money for their labor? Send salsa!

So this year I'm growing tomatoes. There's a Mexican Grocery Store nearby where I can buy the other ingredients, at least the peppers. Next year I'll try growing those, too, unless tomatoes prove disastrous.
