Harvesting My Cherry Tomatoes



I'm pretty excited for the first harvest of my organic cherry tomato "crop." I've been referring to my one contained tomato plant as my crop. Sounds like I have a whole farm in my front yard. I don't!

I planted an heirloom variety that when ripe, are swirled with shades of light green, yellows and oranges. I now need to decide what I want to make with these as I keep picking them. Popping them in my mouth for a snack is fine, but I'm thinking more along the lines of some tomato chutney, tomato salsa or even some tomato jam to spread on a a toasted multi-grain bagel with some cream cheese. We'll see. The possibilities are endless.
