The hot weather hit and all fifteen or so varieties of heirloom tomatoes have come into their full ripeness. The colors in the photo are very true too what’s on the vines. There are red, green and yellow pears. Red, yellow and yellow cluster cherries, large slicing tomatoes, a variety of blacks, and Italians including San Marzano’s. I think there are as many recipes for tomatoes as there are for preparing chicken. We have canned a batch of sauce with more to come. Made fresh salsas, gazpachos, roasted, sliced, eaten them with artisanal cheeses on the greatest breads and sun dried a batch for future recipes. Nothing tastes quite like the fresh off the vine tomatoes. They really define the summer victory garden. It’s not over and I am already missing them!!
