It looks like your tomatoes are starting to come in strong, it's such a nice time of year when there's so much good things to eat.<br /><br />My tomatoes are pretty much done I think. I picked off the green ones which will get made into a sweet pickle this weekend.Phuonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658691564062044986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806765669512996094.post-20481659346457622062015-08-11T15:14:13.994-07:002015-08-11T15:14:13.994-07:00You did a great job recovering from the flood.

We have lots of small tomatoes so no BLTs yet, but that's coming up as soon as we get a few slicers.David Veltenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07710293718143454000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806765669512996094.post-32728251112432194422015-07-24T12:19:42.358-07:002015-07-24T12:19:42.358-07:00Hi Shaheen,

It was surprising to find Big Rainbow had that wonderful sourness, they say most yellow tomatoes are fairly mild. None of the tomatoes have been very acidic this year which is good, none of that mouth sensitivity when a person eats lots of tomatoes.Phuonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658691564062044986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806765669512996094.post-45419964253416713432015-07-24T11:43:19.995-07:002015-07-24T11:43:19.995-07:00Oh my how wonderful, your harvest is absolutely am...Oh my how wonderful, your harvest is absolutely amazing.

I'm growing Costoluto Genovese as well & had heard that it is a good sauce tomato. Completely forgot about that last year and I just mixed up all my tomatoes when making sauce. Hopefully I'll remember to make a sauce with only that variety this year to see how it is. Paul Robeson is on my list of varieties to try - it's always difficult choosing tomato varieties; there's so many good ones!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806765669512996094.post-44805009451804403742015-07-24T00:49:26.341-07:002015-07-24T00:49:26.341-07:00Hi Norma,
