Love my tomatoes....


I have been feeling very depressed about our tomatoes which we are finding it almost impossible to sell.  They are what is known as 'country tomatoes' and we collected the seed ourselves.  We grow them because they are a local plant but unfortunately they don't look like supermarket tomatoes so no one wants them.  It is true that they do not sit very comfortably on the shelf for very long but tend to go squishy very quickly.  As a result no one wants them.

Yet I love them and the picture is a tribute to their wonderfully individual qualities, special taste and ability to survive well in this difficult climate.

It is obvious, however, that we will have to process them ourselves and I must think how we are going to do that as we have no money to build anything at the moment.
