Heirloom Tomatoes – and a Giveaway!
This is part two in a five part series on gardening here at Jennifer’s Kitchen.
About the time April comes around, we are all missing good, homegrown tomatoes. Not the perfectly-round, uniformly-sized, blemish-free, plastic-tasting tomatoes you find at the supermarket. But a real, meaty, rich, intensely-flavored tomato that only comes from a garden.
Giveaway

Baker Creek Seed Company is offering one of our readers a beautiful 8-pack collection of selected heirloom tomato seeds featuring orange, pink, purple, red, green, striped, white, and yellow tomatoes! How fun!

Last year I really enjoyed the crunchy American slicer cucumbers we grew….the problem was we got so many I didn’t know what to do with them all! You can only make so many pickles for the winter. Maybe Jennifer you could come up with some way to use an abundance of cucumbers….like “Cucumber Bread” or “Cucumber Cookies”

My favorite is tomatoes; I start every year with a batch of fried green tomatoes along with fried fish and grits, and then I end the tomato season by canning, freezing and drying my harvest.
For me it’s eating tomatoes! In salads, cooked or even as jam (tastes a bit like strawberry jam, but more tomatoey!) they are versatile and delicious. I would love to grow some! Really liked the reuse ideas above as is a clever use of something that most people just throw away.
