Now this is a mess of tomatoes, 38 to be exact from Whitton Farms, and I saved this box of muddy beauties from the trash.
Last week, when I was picking up my CSA at the Botanic Gardens in the rain, I started talking to Keith Forrester about tomatoes. “I’d like to buy a lot of tomatoes and try making my own sauce,” I said. “How about these?” he answered, plopping the wet box of heirlooms on the table.
It seems all the rain is wreaking havoc with Keith’s tomato crop. Too much rain makes the tomatoes split near the stem. Look closely, and you can see.
