Sweet Reds

My 10 tomato plants are cropping. I've around 6 or 7 varieties, everything from cherry tomatoes to big red ones. Basil planted among them - good companions both in the garden and in the kitchen. The bowl above is the first harvest, with dozens more clusters of fruit still on to be picked. And the taste! Why buy tomatoes from the supermarket - picked months ago and speed-rippened under artificial conditions - when you can grow your own? And totally organic!
