and here we have....

The first pile of tomatoes of the season!

You will notice i have artfully arranged this pile so that you cannot see the blossom end rot on the yellow ones...ha ha.

This is how they looked cut up for dinner...we just ate them straight, with a little salt.

That one which looks greenish is the dark one on the right in the first photo. It is a variety called 'Black Pineapple' that i got at a local garden sale. I am very very taken with it, it was by far the best tasting of the bunch. (though i must admit, the yellow ones were nasty because of the rot, it is not their fault really). I will surely grow this variety from seed next year.

Anyway, i am always interested in the comments of others, so there i am at the dinner table badgering my husband -- 'so what do you think of this black pineapple tomato? How do you think it compares to the other varieties that we usually grow? Isn't it wonderful?...Don't you think it is good? Do you not like it!?!?' .... he is sort of poking at his food in a desultory fashion and staring into space....perhaps i should not attempt to get a proper critique out of a guy who just came back from India the day before and is totally jet-lagged to hell....ya think??
