Why Heirloom Tomatoes??

Snob value? g Seriously tho' I know what you mean. I've heard good things about the flavor of heirlooms. Vine ripe tomatoes of any variety tho' are better than any store bought ones by _yards_. Almost any home grown tomato is better than those red things in the store. Yep! A couple of years ago, in the dead of winter, I was perusing the grocery store tomatoes and one variety actually smelled like a tomato. They were the bright orange colored tennis-ball sized tomatoes with the stems attached. (the yellow and the red tomatoes just like them had no smell, just like the Roma, "greenhouse", and generic slicing tomatoes.) I bought a few and made pico de gallo with them, saving some of the seeds. They were actually good! I planted them in my garden the next year and they were good fresh too, but my family wouldn't eat them because they were the wrong color. I should probably plant "Black Krim" or "Green Moldovan" next year. Bob |
