Tomato Harvest Update!

Right now I am in peak of my tomato harvest. Below are some pics of the tomatoes I have harvested. The first pic is of my holding the huge heirloom tomatoes I picked. The second pic is of those same tomatoes on the table. The biggest Kellogg's Breakfast heirloom tomato weighed 1.77lbs! The third pic is our table covered with mostly hybrid tomatoes, and some Romas. There are also, Better Boy, Juliet, Early Girl, and Sungold Hybrid. The last two pics were taken after slicing the Kellogg's Breakfast (orange) heirloom tomato and the Dixie Golden Giant (yellow) heirloom tomato. The were delicious!

Costoluto Genovese Heirloom Tomato Harvest

The tomato that I knew I wanted to grow the first time I ever saw it. The Costoluto Genovese. It is an Italian heirloom that has an amazing sweet flavor. The pics below are of the tomatoes in a cluster on the vine, of the tomato itself, and of the tomato after slicing. Enjoy!
