Tomatoes Galore

We planted 11 tomato plants in the ground this year, 7 varieties, and we are really reaping the benefits now. We've been getting our little ones for quite some time, but now we are getting the big ones and it is so fun and delicious!

We planted yellow currant, red currant (very small), yellow pear, big rainbow, supersteak, brandywine pink, and what was supposed to be black krim. I could tell it wasn't black krim because I've planted them before and they are really dark, kind of purplish. I was excited to have lots of colors in our tomatoes. Well....these ones are smaller and just normal red. Then last week we got a letter from Burpee saying they apologize, but it appears that the seeds in the Black Krim packet were not actually black krim. Ooops! They said they'll replace them and give us a $10 coupon, but they didn't say what variety they actually are! So I'll have to call and find out so we can solve the mystery. My guess is something like Early Girl because they ripened earlier and aren't very big. They are tasty though! All seven are heirloom and they are really spectacular. Definitely our best year for tomatoes. Hooray!

 This was one supersteak tomato cut up. It fed our whole family for our delicious BLTs. Awesome, but it makes it hard to go through them fast enough!

 I took this picture several weeks ago. We had some big storm that blew the plants over, otherwise they'd be at least 8 ft tall.

 We've had to fight the chipmunks for them. Grrr. Our net seems to be working now, thankfully.

 And the world's tiniest tomato, hehe.
