3 Home Grown and a Guest

by Sally on August 6, 2009

4 tomatoes go under the knife. Home grown: Cream Sausage, Darby Striped, Tigerella and guest ; Sungella generously brought in under the cover of a brown paper bag from an expert growers garden for me to sample.

Here’s the line up :

As there’s only one ripe so far this has a before and after shot.

Tomorrow see how they , along with some cherry tomatoes get to work in a tomato tribute.

I’ve only just managed to harvest my cream sausages today – the sun hasn’t been kind to them, alas. However – they were delicious! I’m reading through your back posts at the moment and getting ideas for what to grow next year!

Hello ,
Thank you for getting in touch.
I agree Cream Sausage is a good flavour – and very pretty colour.
Other ones I know are going to be invited back next year for flavour are Sungolds.
I’m going to try and remember to do a proper taste off to see what’s a keeper and what’s going to have to make room for experimentation next year. Which have got the T factor ?
( also hopped over to your blog and very much enjoyed the more mangled than the bike english esp the spelling of ‘ficks it ‘ and the artwork !)

I love the blog if you like to trade seeds we would be interested, let us know we have about 100 varieties and counting so far. Evan from BoondockersNaturals.com :)

Hello
Thank you for stopping by and getting in touch . I hopped over to your site and once I’d managed to undistract myself from the very appealing ducklings (so fickle!) I had a longing look thro’ your tomato section. Lovely tomatoes and very poetic names. I don’t have seeds of my own to trade as I am just a backgarden/yard grower and I’ve always eaten them before I remember I was meant to save some but it was great to see what you have on offer !
