Heirloom tomatoes 🍅🍅
Organic gardening 🥕🌶
& Urban chickens! 🐔🐓

As much as I love trying new varieties, I still re As much as I love trying new varieties, I still rely on my tried and true favorites. Here's a sample of today's harvest:
Top row L-R: Zapotec, Coeur du Boeuf Ananas, Valdichiana.
Middle row: Black Krim, Greater Baltimore, Gold Metal.
Bottom row: Taxi, Tlacolula Gold, Marmande French.
Excellent tomato flavor in each of these. None disappoint. Pick one to add to your garden next year.
