The Garden-fresh Tomato- one of God's greatest creations

Is there anything better than a ripe garden tomato?  This time of the year I am hard-pressed to think of anything better!

The recent hot sunny days preceded by all that rain has turned tomato ripening potential on full-blast!

Below was what I harvested today-- note all the varieties of peppers and tomatoes

















This year Jeff planted some crazy looking varieties of tomatoes--- they taste great but I've had to learn how to tell when they are ripe because they are so unique looking!

Check out these striped guys...









Look how beautiful the flesh is!  And the flavor is spectacular!









These yellow and green striped tomatoes have green flesh












All these colors make for a beautiful bowl of salsa!
Harvesting- 20 minutes;  Cleaning & making salsa- 10 minutes;  Eating fresh, raw, organic salsa within 30 minutes of picking tomatoes from vine- PRICELESS!
