fresh raw tomatoes

this year we're growing 34 varieties of heirloom tomatoes. and garden looks super lush and vibrant, yet the tomatoes just aren't there. well, in as great numbers as regular, more hybridized varities. there are some benefits to hybrids..like great size and abundance. that said, it's more fun searching for tomatoes when they are striped and purple and green and orange and pear-pepper-cherry-or-sausage shaped. much more fun! here's the fruit of last night's Great Tomato Hunt.
