It was an exciting day at the Bond house last weekend when we found our first red tomato! It actually worked out perfectly as we had a few friends visiting and were in the process of making pizzas to grill out.
(Ignore the peppers in the picture...Mark got so excited and picked them and quickly realized after biting into one, that they were CAYENNE peppers are are supposed to be red before picked...oops)
It was an awesome addition and tasted great. Since then, we've had three more red ones and I made an amazing basil-tomato pasta sauce the other day with them. Can't wait to have a bunch more to can and freeze. With five plants producing really well, hopefully we'll have enough to last us quite awhile into the winter months.
