Okay, so maybe I am a little excessive. The only time of year I like fresh tomatoes is in the summer time here in Virginia. I especially love heirloom tomatoes! So when the opportunity came up to rent a small garden plot in a nearby community garden, I of course did! I made the trek to Debaggio Herbs where they sell every type of heirloom tomato plant available and proceeded to buy most of them! Long story short, I planted 48 tomato plants in the plot garden and the 4 that did not fit, I planted here at home. Here are some pictures of my first “small” harvest!
I am thinking that maybe I should buy some of the following cookbooks!
The Heirloom Tomato: From Garden to Table: Recipes, Portraits, and History of the World’s Most Beautiful Fruit
The Heirloom Tomato Cookbook
The Tomato Festival Cookbook: 150 Recipes that Make the Most of Your Crop of Lush, Vine-Ripened, Sun-Warmed, Fat, Juicy, Ready-to-Burst Heirloom Tomatoes

I started “renting” space in my mom’s garden, because my rooftop one was just not cutting it. There is just something about looking down at a recipe and then heading outside to pick the ingredients fresh.
