Time for a BLT!!
Those are Cherokee Purples (my favorite), Green Zebras (a bit small for some reason) and Mr. Stripey (my wife's favorite).
I've had 1-2 off each plant in the previous week or two, but this is my first significant harvest.
I pulled my [url=https://www.helpfulgardener.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=267762#267762]sick/dead plants about two weeks ago[/url], and these three remaining plants still look OK, so maybe whatever "it" is, didn't spread. [knock wood].
Time to fry some bacon!

I'm still working on the patent* for the bacon plant. Meantime, here's a plate of sliced heirlooms, with plenty of salt & pepper:
* which I would, of course, put immediately into the public domain!

I have enough tomatoes for the BLTs but I have to wait for my pig to come back from the butcher! It is due back on the 18th and I CAN"T wait for all that wonderful bacon. I love a BLT all made from stuff I grew and or baked. Well the wife is the baker I am the gardener and the cook but she does all the baking.
Fresh homemade bread
vine ripe tomatoes
home grown no steroids bacon
IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT!

I'd like to hear more about the bacon hog. Start a new thread please. 2 Tamworths and a outdoor bread oven are on the list.Ohio Tiller wrote:I have enough tomatoes for the BLTs but I have to wait for my pig to come back from the butcher!
