Hola amigo y amiga 🙂

Are you ready to see my Sungold tomato creation story?

I hope so because this story is so beautiful and so delicious.

Here's what happened:

My tomato parents hooked up in June and began forming flowers in early July.

Baby Sungold tomatoes beginning to form from the flowers.
Then teensy, tiny, baby Sungold tomatoes began to form from the flowers. They were green.

And now, early September, they are ripe and orangey-yellow and delicious!

Finally, harvest season time has arrived in Maine. I picked all of these tiny orangey yellow Sungold tomatoes in one go last night in the garden. There are a few plum-size tomatoes as well, which are really good but whose strain I cannot remember.

I like to eat them just as they are. I also like to eat them with just a dash of sea salt, which really brings out their sweetness.

Sometimes, I take a knife to my beloved babies and (gasp) put them on a piece of garlic bread with a few mangled slices of basil and a sprinkle of parmesan, you know, bruschetta.

Do you grow tomatoes? What kind?

Happy eating, XO,

    Ohhhhh sooooo beautiful!

    If you want to have a TOMATO BLOCK PARTY add some olive oil, sea salt, garlic, and fresh basil.......

      That sounds really great Jessica! I wish I could have fresh Sungold's year-round. Do you have outdoor space at your apt. to grow things?

      • jessica

        No, I don't have outdoor space. My plants live at work...at home the cats would just knock them over, since they have claimed all ownership of all window spaces.

          Cats are such divas.
