Two plant provided over 500 tomatoes!

I thought I would share these tomatoes with you and CM readers. In April 2013 at the Farmers Market on the Square, I bought two tomato plants--mini grape, yellow variety - from Caitlin Helm. Both survived and produced, one better than the other.




As they ripened, I began to count. By the end of the season, I'd picked more than 500. In mid-October, with threat of frost, I picked more than 100 green tomatoes. Stored away, as they ripened, I added them to breakfast.

These two photos were taken this morning, April 4, 2014, just before the last ones were enjoyed! - Mike Watson

With the sausage patties, eggs over easy, toast and eggs over easy, it made a breakfast fit that couldn't be beat.
