Isn't it beautiful? The first one...all pretty, and smoky...this is fully ripe, oh so fully ripe. I cut it in half, I drizzled on some Olive Oil, some garlic...mozzarella and a tad of italian breadcrumbs...broiled....yum. Why do people insist on the standard sterile taste of commercial tomatoes? Why can they not 'think outside the box' and realize the best, tastiest tomatoes are not the 'pretty' orange beasts that is all you can find at the supermarket? Get yerself to the local Farmers Market this weekend and find some heirloom tomato, the weirder or uglier the better and treat yourself to a wonderful taste! Here is my article on how I save the seeds (next one, I promise!) SAVING TOMATO SEEDS

I didn't save seeds yet, but will. Wanted to EAT this one, lol. I wrote and article on saving tomato seeds, think I will 'edit' my blog post to put that in!

That's gorgeous. I planted heirlooms this year. I can't WAIT to see what they look like. I just now saw your friend request from a month ago. Oops!

Please if you have plenty of seeds I would really like some!
I don't have much to exchange at the moment for seeds though...
And thanks for adding me as a friend
