So, yeah, it's not time for Heirloom tomatoes to start showing up in the markets just yet. But - if you have a garden or a patio/balcony where you can put a pot and grow some tomatoes, this post is for you. Sadly, I have the opposite of a green thumb, whatever that is (a black thumb?) so I won't be killing any tomato plants this year. But you should! Seriously, do it.
You can get certified organic seeds from Sur La Table. Yeah, I know, it's a chain store, blah, blah, blah, but these seeds are not only organic, but they come from a family farm in California. It says so right here. These guys should be giving me commission on this! I just got excited when I saw this and wished that I could actually grow things. I'm sure someone out there might want to. :D
I just acquired a planter box & while I'm not a raw tomato fan, I do like Heirlooms! In fact, I made my Mom pick some up for her giant veggie garden!
ReplyDeleteI don't garden either - only a few herb plants each year, but I'm starting to think I should get my butt in gear hearing about everyone else's great gardens!
ReplyDeletethose do look awesome! wow! sounds like i need to find some heirlooms to enjoy - and some seeds to plant, too! what a delicious idea! :D
ReplyDeleteThose tomatoes look absolutely beautiful - my grandmother used to grow her own and they were just out of this world!
ReplyDeletehey... cool blog
ReplyDeleteyay veggies
GORGEOUS!!!! I LOOVE HEIRLOOMS TOO and I just recently (maybe 2-3 posts ago) put up a picture of this amaaazing heirloom that I found at wf. In my opinion, they're totally worth the extra money if you appreciate/enjoy the experience of eating them!! They make me feel so close to the earth, I love them!
