Tomatoes, Tomatoes and more Tomatoes


Aren't they beautiful? Last Tuesday's market in Vaison was like a horn of plenty full of tomatoes. Tomatoes in every shape and colour and beautifully named -  just have a look at the list above!
Colourful Cherry Tomatoes

 These are called Pineapple Tomatoes

Coeur de Boeuf or
"Heart of the Bull"

 
Roma

 And these are the ones in my Kitchen Garden
they still need a bit of sun...

... but see, we are getting there - this afternoon's harvest.
Tomato Salad anyone?

  3. I love your harvest. We have two tomato plants in pots and they are struggling. But I did have sliced tomatoes and fresh basil on my sour dough toast this morning.

  7. Beautiful! While we don't have a large variety of tomatoes here in Istanbul, I made a lovely classic Caprese Salad the other night with Turkish tomatoes, olive oil, mozzarella and Italian balsamico. :-)
