Ahhh, it’s so fun to pull out the baby pictures.
Trays of Heirloom tomato plants all tucked into the warm greenhouse.
This is the best spot to be in the Winter!

Time to tie up the tomatoes
Tools for the trade!
Heirloom tomato plants grow up big and tall.
Heavy duty cages are needed and staking will help the plants from falling over.
I use jute string to tie up stalks that want to escape captivity.
The plants are getting heavy with tomatoes!
“Because you want more, you want more”!
I cut back on the number of Heirloom tomato plants this year, but I think I have room for just a couple more!

The End
This is the last of the Heirloom tomatoes.
They have been safely finishing their ripening in the greenhouse.
I will have a salad for lunch, do the last of the seed saving, and roast a few more tomatoes for Winter enjoyment.

The Sampler Platter
And this is why I grow heirloom tomatoes!
And for us, you can’t beat the flavor!
Plate Full
I have been documenting all the different heirloom tomato varieties
with my camera this Summer.
It will be a good way to remember them when the snow is flying this Winter,
and I have my nose in the seed catalogs.
After my little photo shoot the other day,
I had this lovely plate sitting on the table.
