My tomatoes plants look good this year. I planted 4 hybrid Celebrity, 3 heritage Brandywine and a couple of others which I can't remember.
The local Ag man here recommended these two for my area.
In the past, I have had no luck with heritage varieties, but I hope my luck will be different this year.
My first 2 tomatoes to ripen were the Celebrity. So tonight for dinner I made one of my favorite dishes. I found this recipe over 20 years ago and no longer have it, so I can't write amounts of the ingredients. I rarely measure anything anyway.
First I cook a cup of wild rice. To stuff 2 medium tomatoes use about 1/3 of a package of frozen spinach, thawed and chopped. Half a cup of chopped walnuts. Mixed them in a bowl. Add enough olive oil so the ingredients will stick together.
Add Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt and pepper. Core the tomatoes and cut them like a flower like in my picture. Then stuff them. I love this and if the tomatoes are large, it's a whole meal.
Since these were medium, I cooked some salmon with it.
I'm looking forward to many more dishes with my homegrown tomatoes.
