A cautionary tale of one tomato thief...
... but also of Mother Hens who proclaim your beloved and lovingly shared tomato babies almost too sweet, with not enough of the acid of a balanced tomato - notwithstanding freely popping one after another into her mouth after you have been carefully rationing their consumption so that enough would remain to share. Well, hmph - this proud mama of city tomatoes likes her sweet tomatoes just as they are, thank you very much. Happily, there are still some green ones not yet ripened - so maybe there will still be more this season!
For a recent Tomato 🍅 Tuesday Dinner: the last of the ripe tomatoes (all super sweet grape ones this year), with brown rice, chickpeas, cucumbers, all dressed with pesto. Easy, quick work night meal.
The grape tomatoes were sweet as sweet can be, living up to their forebears whose sweetness prompted going back to the market for more, then when the last of those were being prepared for a meal, the first round of seed saving. Before the ones in the photo were added, they, too, were squeezed of their seeds onto a paper towel in hopes next year there will yet be another sweet crop.
