    Wow, what a lot of Tomatoes. Do you make sauce to freeze? Looks like you will be really busy when they all start to ripen.

    Toni, nope we don't can but we freeze them and yes when they thaw they are mushy but that's the way we like then in our chili, spaghetti and so forth. Plus i'm a big seed saver so some of them are just for the seed then wifey gets to eat the rest. So that everyone knows in the winter months here i trade/give away alot of tomato seeds just to keep the heirlooms in circulation .

    Wow, I am very jealous indeedy! My toms are just starting to fruit up, but no colour yet. I adore the big beefsteak varieties and am growing some white ones this year. I grow as many toms as I can squeeze onto the allotment as I do cook the toms down and freeze the sauce and I need to try and do 52 portions, 1 a week for the year! Fab pictures, any more??

    WOW have you got maters or what? How many different types do you have. They sure look healthy and I know they will be delicious.

    Those look great, an healthy for July. What varieties are they? Mine aren't nearly as pretty as yours, this heat has taken its toll this year. I would love some of your seeds when you save some.
