With 100 plus tomato plants in our yard, this is just the tip of the iceberg.  As I mentioned in a previous post, these tomato plants really came out of nowhere.  I didn't plant any of them.  They just showed up alongside the fuschia iceplants that I bought at Lowe's on Memorial Day weekend.  It was a summer of anticipation waiting to see what tomato varieties we'd end up with.  Well, we were pleasantly surprised to have a combination of the popular hybrid varieties available at most nurseries, two Roma tomato varieties and my personal favorite, the Campari tomato.  I can't tell you much more than that.  There are one of two plants that appear to be an heirloom variety.  I'm really interested in saving those seeds for next year!

I made a tomato vinaigrette dressing and some caprese salad.  I'll probably use the Barefoot Contessa's soup recipe tomorrow and serve it with BLT sandwiches. I might try to oven dry some tomatoes if I have time.  Hope your weekend is going well.
