Title: Tomato harvest....at last!
Post by: Deb P on August 24, 2009, 13:00:36
After a late start (my fault for late planting out.... ::) my greenhouse tomatoes are now really getting into their stride. Picked a bowlfull of mixed types, including Orange Banana, Red Zebra, Thai Pink Egg, Jackie's Prize, Legend, Sweet Olive, Norut's Cross, Orange Heart, Fuzzy,Rose De Berne and British Green Tiger.

Guess what I'll be having for lunch today..... ;D

Ooh difficult, changes every day! ;D

As for the bowl, I picked it up at an antiques fair years ago, it had two salad servers as well shaped as sticks of celery with tomatoes on the ends....I love tat me! Its made by Beswick, you can still pick them up on eBay now, Carlton Ware did a similar type of stuff as well.

What are the dark brownish ones called. They look like a baby of Black Krim which are dee-lish.

Those are actually stripey, althought that doesn't show up so well in the photo, they are the British Green Tiger. Japanese Black Trifele are also fairly dark and in the bowl somewhere, they taste quite distinctive and are becoming one of my favourites! ;D
