Our first attempt to grow tomato plants seems a success. Our 31 plants produced a delicious array of flavorful and colorful tasting temptations. Our favorites are the Red Brandywine and most especially the Pink Brandywine. The Top Producer award goes to the Blondkopfchen, hands down. Our plants were covered in fruit all season long. At one point our harvests began to take over the kitchen table. When my mom joked about having 500 tomatoes in the kitchen, I sat down to count each one. Despite having spent the morning preserving the multitude of cherry tomatoes by drying, freezing, and cooking, we still had 364 tomatoes in the kitchen!
