Oh, Julia Child, you dear pink tomato. Your blushing beauty covers your spicy inside, tempting gardeners for decades.
Cherokee Chocolate, dark enchantress of the bunch. That Christmas colored skin of yours yields to a dark juicy flesh, dripping with sunlight transformed to sweetness.
Then there’s you, Rutgers. Your pleats, your bulbous inundations, inspire a thousand delicious thoughts.

All together, you are a brothel of diversity, a color, size, and flavor for every preference.
Sliced raw, you bare your internal beauty, solid flesh giving way to juicy pulp and life renewing seeds. Your eclectic flavors and textures are inspirational, a summer sensual feast.
Just gorgeous!!!
Those look amazing! One of the best things about a garden is the tomatoes.
What gorgeous tomatoes. We only did Roma this year, maybe we’ll branch out next year.
There’s a Clint Eastwood tomato? Huh, who said you cannot learn anything on a Wednesday!!
Your bounty looks delicious!
Beautiful tomatoes!!
I keep telling my husband that I’m not going to know what to do when I run out of heirlooms from our garden! This is the first year I’ve ever enjoyed tomatoes raw or in salads and store-bought tomatoes are just NOT the same!!
“brothel of diversity” LOL
That Cherokee Chocolate is so enticing.
@Jaime – I hope you have enough tomatoes to freeze / preserve through the Winter!
