Tomatoes, that is. I keep a big bowl of these cherry tomatoes on the kitchen table to snack on during the day. The tomatoes are coming in strong and I have to make sure to pick them every day because if left on the vine too long, the tomatoes will crack. Of course, I planted way more than we can eat so I've been selling nice sized bags of mixed varieties for a couple of weeks now. I like to mix the colors up to challenge people to try the different kinds. My personal favorite is called Black Prince, a small to medium size tomato that is an unusual mahogany brown color with a distinctively rich fruity tomato flavor. It is the one I choose for my salads and sandwiches every time. I make sure to include one in every bag I sell.
