Looks nice too- tomato garlands. Also there was a recipe in the NY Times last week in response to such a problem:

slice thinly
dip in batter ( flour, then egg ) salt generously, fry in good olive oil.

tis true that warm of sun and length of sun have everything to do with results.
warmth of ground, when you plant especially.

have you a friend with a sunny house…and windowsills.

They probably only got 8 hours of sun a day, which in summer is probably not enough? The cherry tomatoes ripened, but the big ones are always a problem. I’ve got some of them on the windowsill, but there are so many you’d need about 10 windows. I guess we’re having fried green tomatoes.

Maybe that would help.

I’m not sure what to do with the kohlrabi, though.
