I planted my tomato plants in with my flowers this year and right now they are bursting with color. Red and yellow cherry tomatoes are the majority of what I grew because that particular variety does very well for me every summer.
I am picking them everyday - August brings a very good harvest.
My favorite way to eat them is with torn up fresh basil, a little salt and pepper, a drizzle of olive oil and some feta cheese crumbled on top.
Other than that, they are just as good to eat straight from the vine.
Nothing like the taste of a homegrown tomato!
Hi Lara,
ReplyDeletehomegrown tomatoes are for sure a wonderful and delicious harvest... This is one point of my wishlist for the next year.
Take care and a lovely weekend,

Add a drizzle of balsamic vinegar to your tomatoes along with your other ingredients. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice harvest! Those look so yummy :)
ReplyDeletewonderful Images...so lovely!
ReplyDeleteDelicious! Lovely photographs.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Lara! After growing our own tasty tomatoes for so many years (and canning pint and pints and pints of them each fall), we can't bring ourselves to buy any store bought ones. They have such a bland taste next to ours which just zing with flavor! Love them with my omelets! :)

One great thing about growing tomatoes yourself is that they are grown without pesticides. This makes them a lot more red and juicy.
