Heirloom Tomatoes Are The Best

My tomato plants have been planted for six weeks.  I have a few in the ground, several in pots and six in Topsy Turvy Planters (inverted planters that hang).  As those tiny yellow flowers bloom, my mouth is watering for my two favorite light summer dinners:

1.  Bread Salad

2.  Grilled Flat Bread Salad

Both of these recipes feature my fruit salad of tomatoes with either toasted french bread of a flat bread dough that I cook on the grill.   

Some of those delightful yellow flowers have turned into small green beads ... and now marbles.  I can not wait to start harvesting.

For those of you who have never heard or tried an heirloom tomato, you might not have ever actually tasted what a REAL tomato tastes like.  The tomatoes that most of us find in our local super markets are tastless and meally.  Heirlooms are grown from seeds ... the seeds of which come from long lines of tomatoes going back decades or even a century.  The product is delicious tasting fruit in countless colors, shapes and sizes. 

I can't wait to teach you how to make these two delicious salads.
