Golden Jubilee
The slight difference in color between the first two Golden Jubilee and these three made a world of difference in the flavor. The darker, almost orange gold tomatoes had an unbelievably rich tomato flavor. And, the texture was still firm, yet creamy. We’re […]
Black Krim From The Garden
Gorgeous tomatoes picked fresh out of the garden demand attention. It would be a crime to hide their beauty. So, with a little thought, we decided migas would make the perfect companion. Even better, this is a great way to put some leftovers […]
First, we started with one tomato slice per sandwich. But, it quickly became obvious that for these thicker rolls, two slices would be best.

Golden Sweet Pear
The Tomato Bed
Two weekends ago, we added our first batch of tomato plants:
3 Sweet Golden Pears 2 Golden Jubilee 1 Juliet 2 Tami G 2 Super Sweet 100s
Elsewhere on the deck, we planted […]
That’s it. Ten cayenne peppers, six hot banana peppers, and a handful of jalapeƱos make up the last of the peppers. We were surprised to find even that many left on the plants. And, they were shockingly healthy and gorgeous. If we’re lucky and it doesn’t freeze, we might get […]
With a heavy heart, I say farewell to my best tomato season…
