Blessings from the garden

While the weather this year has been different - cold, wet spring and long warm fall - we have been blessed with abundant produce from the garden. There was a while, tho', when we thought we would be eating fried green tomatoes all winter!  But nature prevailed and ripened the heirlooms and we have feasted on them - us and many others.
The heirlooms are so tasty and vibrant, often sweet and just melt in your mouth.  They are well worth any additional effort (not much) to grow. You are well rewarded - mozzarella, tomato slices and balsamic vinegar make a feast!
Here's a couple of shots of a basket of them - Diana has taken the Roma-style, sliced them and baked them with olive oil - wow, what an addition to crackers and cheese!
