This year, I bought two "Arkansas Traveler" tomatoes, an heirloom variety that's supposed to be heat tolerant. The tag said they're "mild-tasting, pink-skinned tomatoes."

August 25. I harvested the red ones and then forgot to take a photo of them on the vine, so here are the green ones instead.

These tomatoes are pretty small. Not cherry tomato small but much smaller than I expected. The light pink skin also meant it was light in taste.

I think I like much deeper tomato flavor. Will have to keep that in mind and try a different variety next year.

Maybe if they aren't that full of flavor you can take the unripe ones and pickle them or something? Sounds a bit time consuming though. :)
ReplyDeletethey are gorgeous... congrats on your harvest! I have never seen this variety of tomato b4... How wonderful to have such space to grow your own crops ^^
ReplyDeleteJeannie,
ReplyDeleteI get so few as a "crop" that even without that much flavor, I still love them. :)
Wiffy,
You can grow tomatoes in pots. Unlike me, you can probably grow a whole bunch to eat. My mom had 30 on one vine once. I'm just happy to have 1! :P
