We have 7 (was 8) heirloom tomato plants growing in what used to be our backyard. Most of the tomatoes are finally ripening, here's our first large haul from a few days ago.
We'll be canning crushed tomatoes and making lots of ketchup & tomato jam soon.
from L to R: Brandywine Black, Aunt Ginny's Orange, Texas Star (that's the single tomato), Amazon Chocolate, Hawaiian Pineapple. Still to come: Hugh's, Love Apple.
RIP: Black from Tula (it suddenly started to shrivel up badly so we cut our losses and dug it out; we'll figure out what to do with the dozen or so green tomatoes we salvaged).
