Ripe, beautiful heirloom tomatoes, to me, are a recipe for pure summer joy!! Truly is there anything better in the summer than that first, deliciously ripe homegrown heirloom tomato. I look forward to this moment every year.
It is almost a ceremony, to slice, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle a bit of sea salt, and serve. That first bite, tells you summer has arrived!
I purchase my heirloom tomatoe plants from; heirloomtomatoplants.com which is located in Lomita,Ca. The sales are Sundays from March-May, or online.
Just looking at the website is incredible to see the 100+ variety of tomatoes, and they are so beautiful.
This tomato in my photo is "Paul Robeson" one of the owners favorites.
Even if you don't grow your own tomatoes, find some at a farmer's market, and enjoy some summer goodness!
As Always,
ENJOY!
I totally agree!!
