You Say Tomato...


I wonder if the folks who sell those red round imposters in the grocery store they call tomatoes have ever tasted one of these homegrown goodies, because if they have I'm thinking they would have to call them something else... like cardboard.

No garden of your own?  Check out these fun "heirloom" tomato finds...

There is nothing in this world like a homegrown tomato!

I still have some of those old vintage tomato pin cushions! With pins in them!

I've always hated tomatoes and I'm just now learning to enjoy them as an adult.

Cute tomatoes!! So many of mine are rotting. :(

You're right about the tomatoes. And the same holds true for strawberries - a bright red colour doesn't necessarily mean they taste better. In fact, it's often just the opposite.

Now I'm craving some bruschetta! :)

Mmmm. And when they're still warm from the sun--the best.

Annette said...

You're absolutely right. Store bought tomatoes are just flavorless. Now I want one!!
