Sliced Tomatoes

I can't believe I let this blog sit here for a year without an update.  I think I'll do some garden-related updates this Summer.

I've had decent heirloom tomatoes this year: Cherokee Purple, Rutgers, and German Queen.

We've been eating the Cherokee Purple and Rutgers.  Have several German Queens on the vine, but not close to ripe yet.

I really like the Cherokee Purple tomatoes.  They have a rich color, dense meat, and good (almost sweet) flavor.

Here are slices of Cherokee Purple compared with Rutgers (a more traditional-looking red fruit tomato).
