Thanks for that! My dad recently harvested her garden full of tomatoes , and I find myself the owner of two or five buckets worth! Of course I couldnt eat them all, but I did find a website full of lots more tomato recipe there. A whole website dedicated the topic!! Crazy what you can find on the internet nowadays!!

Yum! I grew some Hillbilly tomatoes last year and they were delicious -- very fresh tasting with the slightest bit of tanginess. This year I'm trying a Cherokee Chocolate. Good luck with yours! Kim’s last blog post..Blank canvas

The hillybill Tomato sounds like my Brandywine. Do you think you can process this fruit - canning? I hope you share with us the progress of your new raised beds. LOVE THIS POSTING..... Thank you for sharing your wonderful day. I wish I lived closer to your great state because I totally would have been there! Bren/ BGgarden’s last blog post..A+ on Planting Progress Grade Card

We’re not quite thinking tomatoes yet here, but you certainly made me envious. I love the heirloom tomato craze. Good bye, Early Girl. Hello, Green Grape. I hope you’ll do a blog on the results. I’ll do the cabbage, it always performs for us here.No matter how cold summer is.

While reading your post, Theo came over to see what was making me salivate, saw the photo of your
adorable tomato fan Alex and said: “he looks nice. I bet we’d be friends.” We should work on that!

Went to Burkhards in Pasadena today to pick up a Lillian Austen tree rose which magically appeared in their stock. It was to replace one of my originals which had been trucked down years ago from Otto and Sons. I added a beefsteak hybrid tomato to the collection already massing about the garden. They have somewhere between 160- 170 different varieties of tomatoes stacked in mostly 4″ pots on the tables there. My all-time favorite flavorwise is Brandywine. But I would try a Berkeley Tie-Die just for the jokes which would fly.

Hi Debra,
I just bought some heirloom tomato varieties at a seminar giving at my local nursery, Green Thumb. Can’t wait till they grow and I eat them.
