tomatoes

This spring Dorothy and I went to Tulsa to the Tomato Man to by our yearly tomato plants. We picked up our favorite Cherokee Purple plants and a few others. Lisa Merrell, the Tomato Man's daugher, gave us a tomato plant called Carbon to try. We recently harvested a one pound fruit and it was just as good as the Cherokee Purple, maybe a tad more tart.

This is the Carbon. This particular tomato is the second one from the vine and not as large as the first. This one weighs 3/4 pound. We'll be having it on hamburgers this evening.

So, we've been eating a lot of tomatoes. We've had them in salads, pico de gallo, on hamburgers, spam, BLT's, and we've even had some BLT burritos.

If you are a tomato grower and live within driving distance of Tulsa , I recommend that you go see the Tomato Man's Daughter for your plants.
