It was looking like we were only going to be able to harvest the potatoes because our tomatoes were green and were not ripening. Something happened over the 3-day weekend because when we returned, we had more red tomatoes than we could handle. Because they ripened so quickly the fifth graders were about to make potato salad and salsa. We mixed the potatoes, thyme and onions together with mayo, relish and salt/pepper. Everyone enjoyed sampling the potato salad. We did not get to add dill because the plants died a few weeks prior to the harvest. Appartantly, dill needs a lot more water than the plants in our garden. The salsa was easliy made but cutting the a couple jalapenos, onions and tomatoes into fourths and zipping them in the blender with some salt. Yes, we forgot to add the cilantro. The salsa was a hit with the fifth graders as well. They loved sampling it with a couple of chips.
