Home Grown Tomatoes

Friend gave me a bunch of tomatoes from his garden and Sheila had a plan. Sliced tomatoes with fresh mozzarella and fresh basil from one of her plants. I reduced some balsamic vinegar to make a glaze for it...

These were Brandywine, Cherokee Purple, and Beefsteak tomatoes. A really good summertime dish that's so easy to make. I suggested some of my bacon fried up and crumbled on top, but she said maybe next time...

Tomatoes already? Nice!
BrandyWine is my favorite. We are growing those and beefsteak. Some sweet 100 cherry too. And some Italian paste tomatoes!

BrandyWine is my favorite.

Mine too. My friend planted 80 plants with a bunch of varieties including various cherry tomatoes and he gives most of them away. I have grown fond of his Chocolate Cherry tomatoes, too...

Beautiful Charles!! My basil is ready to roll but tomatoes are a month or more off. Love a good Caprese salad. I used to do about 40 tomato plants a year all different heirloom varieties. Cherokee purple is an all time fav. Brandywine is tasty but for some reason I always got really low yields on them.
