The one that got away.........

This is an heirloom tomato from my garden. It's huge. And kind of on the pink side of red. Heirloom tomatoes are grown from seeds of plants that have never been hybridized. They don't grow perfectly round like more commercial tomatoes. In fact, some are very squanchy looking. But they come in amazing colors like chocolate brown & purple! It's kind of cool to think that somebody, somewhere saved the seeds so a variety would not die out. This one is called 'Brandywine' It was so big & beautiful that I couldn't bear to skin it & bottle it.

This golden heirloom called 'Old German' was not so lucky.....

I love growing stuff.
