About Tomatoes
Few moments in a summer garden rival the heft of a sun-warmed beefsteak tomato pulled from the vine, its skin taut, its fragrance halfway between fruit and earth. Heirloom varieties, passed down through generations of seed savers, come in colors that range from deep scarlet to striped gold and dusky purple. Whether staked in neat rows or tumbling from a pot on the back step, tomatoes are the undisputed pride of the kitchen garden.
