    Heirloom tomatoes look delicious! I got this Williams Sonoma flyer this week that had a cover showing a pie that had a ricotta/basil filling and sliced heirloom tomatoes over the top. It was topped with more torn fresh basil, ground pepper , and a drizzle of good olive oil.

  2. Oh my! this could be a photo of all the heirloom tomatoes I raise and save seed from for my little seed company Amishland Heirloom Seeds. I see the long pointy ones with squiggly stripes that are called “Speckled Roman”, and the big yellow one could be one of several, like “Pineapple” or “Golden Queen”. I do so love the diversity of tomato varieties and all their wonderful flavors. The brownish ones in the photo could be any of the so called ” blacks” and they have a deep, rich, winey flavor. Most of these black ones come from the former Soviet Union, the deep dark secret of the “Cold War”, was how great their tomatoes were and we didn’t even know they existed!
