I know that I always have good luck with the smaller tomatoes, as they (obviously) take less time to mature, which means less time for things to go wrong! : ) Plus you get ripe tomatoes earlier!<BR/><BR/>The tomatoes in this photo are Gold Nugget and Thai Pink Egg. Both are little tomatoes. I ordered the seeds from a wonderful, rapidly-growing company here in Missouri called <A HREF="http://rareseeds.com" REL="nofollow"><B>Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds.</B></A> They sell all kinds of amazing heirlooms.<BR/><BR/>Hi Cookiecrumb,<BR/>Yes, this is very late for my tomatoes. I have been craving them for ages! I started my seeds late and have pretty much been behind in the garden ever since. But I am sure enjoying the tomatoes now--perhaps even more since I've had to wait so long. <BR/><BR/>Bummer that your plants are done for the season. Are they determinate varieties? It might be harder to grow indeterminates in pots, but you would probably get a longer harvest. Just a thought. . .<BR/><BR/>Hi Leigh,<BR/>Oh, I used these tomatoes to make one of my favorite summer dishes--just the simplest Greek-style salad: halved tomatoes, diced lemon cucumber, lots of chopped fresh basil, little bit of fresh oregano, crumbled feta cheese, and a splash of extra-virgin olive oil and white balsamic vinegar. Salt and pepper to taste and you are set! It was divine.<BR/><BR/>Joe chose to have his in a little dish with nothing but a sprinkle of salt--which is of course the way the first tomatoes of the season should really be savored. But I couldn't resist adding a few other things from the garden. : )<BR/><BR/>Hi BB,<BR/>Thank you. It's about time! (ha, for the tomatoes <I>and</I> the computer!) So glad you're enjoying your patio garden tomatoes, too.Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1124540433050528762005-08-20T07:20:00.000-05:002005-08-20T07:20:00.000-05:00Good Morning and Congratulations, DD!Glad to hear ...Good Morning and Congratulations, DD!<BR/><BR/>Glad to hear the new computer is up and running!
