A Study in Scarlet
No not the famous story written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with the great detective Sherlock Holms about revenge were he lets the killer go but about Tomatoes.
Yes tomatoes, before I fire up the Deep Breather and head off to get my oak flooring in Austin I will ask this question. Do you all grow mostly RED tomatoes or do you like to grow other lesser known colors like striped, yellow, white, orange, purple, green and black This year I found myself with a lot of these so called wild colors with very few reds. Mostly I have found that many of the OTHER colors seem to do well for me and it seems to deter the casual tomato thief from snatching them. I can hear their little felonious minds now. What the devil is that? A tomato? It looks like one but IS IT ONE? It could be poisonous or at the very least rotten!!!!! There isn’t a single red tomato to be gotten. Ah here is one that is red. I think I will take it instead. I won’t eat a tomato that isn’t red. As I might find myself dead. Yes I think I will just eat the tomato that’s red. What do you like best and why? Is it the novelty of it all or do they do best up until the fall? Please, do please tell us all. Worth |
