It’s A Tomato Thing

A spontaneous midweek inspiring post. Our new garden has been very bountiful this year and we have been practically buried under giant zucchinis and the heavy tomato plants have long since abandoned their fragile cages for the ground.

Those shy things

In the twilight of the evening yesterday I harvested a few tomatoes, some with skin wrinkled from the unrelenting sun the past week or so, and thought to myself, there should not be too many more.

Lo and behold I head out today in the blazing afternoon sun and look what I found!

The garden angels have been smiling and these are the most beautiful of our harvest so far this summer. Gorgeous unblemished perfectly round blushing beauties, with plump skins and bright green starry tops. I was so overjoyed I had to write/draw/photograph it! I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did gazing at them.

Umami slow-roasted tomatoes it will be tonight!
