Love the photo along with the reaching hands - they'd have to be fast to outreach me if I'd been in the room. Very tasty looking tomatoes you've got there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21896098.post-46141164045039450262009-10-23T01:37:26.316-04:002009-10-23T01:37:26.316-04:00we love heirloom tomatoes. so juicy and sweet/tart...we love heirloom tomatoes. so juicy and sweet/tart. <br />this is a great entry...i love all the hands coming to grab the next tomato. good luck.<br />happy autumn.marmeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622899170079254810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21896098.post-61423407437037443872009-10-22T02:42:17.527-04:002009-10-22T02:42:17.527-04:00You've got to laugh: those hands :-)

I used to be afraid of planting heirloom tomatoes because my plants always get diseased part way through the summer, then when the first frost comes, most of them have died. I used to get yellow pear tomato plants from a local sale that I think were heirloom. I got brave and planted orange oxeheart, and Mr. Stripey. I later read on someone's blog that Mr. S. doesn't taste good. I've had one so far, and I liked it. The orange ones are very mild and yummy.<br /><br />I checked out your cages. I wonder if I should try that. I've had birds eating my tomatoes this summer.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21896098.post-29081234107446562362009-08-26T12:15:18.114-04:002009-08-26T12:15:18.114-04:00wow those are some great looking tomatoes...good f...wow those are some great looking tomatoes...good for you guys! kiminadvertent farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04383463809397445258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21896098.post-31188222145005806602009-08-25T12:47:34.969-04:002009-08-25T12:47:34.969-04:00Cool!

It also requires so little space that I think everybody should be growing it.
