This is my first time growing tomatoes, and Tycoon is the variety my local nursery recommended for the area as it set flowers even in high temps and is determinate which he said was better for container growing (I live in an apartment with plants on the patio). We harvested our first two tomatoes earlier this week, which we used in a pizza sauce, and I just wanted to show them off! It's such a good feeling to eat something you grew! These probably could have stood to ripen a little bit longer as they were a little firm, but they worked great for the sauce and tasted (and smelled) so good once cooked!
(Another reason I'm posting is that there is very little in the way of images of Tycoon tomatoes since they're a relatively new hybrid, so I figure I can contribute to the internet for those searching.) |

P.S. Here's the sauce and the pizza that resulted from these! The sauce is just sautéed minced garlic with pureed tomatoes, fresh chopped basil (also homegrown), dried oregano, a pinch of sugar, and some salt. The pizza crust was made from scratch and is topped with the sauce, mozzarella, leftover brisket from Franklin BBQ, cheddar, and an Italian spice blend. It was sooooo good!
