We’ve picked our first tomatoes of 2009 – woot! They are called Sungold and Black Cherry cherry tomatoes. The former is a hybrid and the later is an open pollinated variety. I think we managed to get tomatoes about a week ahead of last year which is pretty darn good considering how late we got them planted.
Here’s a snap of them.
I could have probably left the blacks to ripen a bit more but the Sungolds were nice and sweet. Both varieties were quite tasty – probably the tastiest cherry tomatoes we’ve grown. I sliced them up and sprinkled salt and pepper on them last night for dinner.
This doesn’t have anything to do with tomatoes but thought I’d toss it in here. Yesterday I noticed a huge zucchini when I was picking cucumbers to make relish so I nabbed it and turned it into zucchini bread. Been ages since I’ve had zucchini bread. I hope to turn the next two zucchini’s into a mock apple pie. Suppose to be quite delicious. I’ll post results of that if I can get it made.

I grew both these types of tomatoes this year and they are outstanding. Definitely a repeat. The black cherry variety was excellent. The sungold tasted like pure sugar!

Pure sugar is a good way to put it. I noticed that the Sungold always has bees around its blossoms which I've never seen before with regard to tomatoes. Interesting.
