The tomato is the most-prized vegetable we grow on our little farm. In fact, it dominates nearly a quarter of our entire garden space every year. If that wasn’t enough, we grow even more in our raised bucket planters on our back patio garden areas as well.
Plain and simple, the more tomatoes we can harvest, the better! We love eating them fresh – whether it be in salads, or topping off a sandwich or hamburger with the perfect heirloom tomato slice. Perhaps our favorite fresh-eating method is to pair them with a bit of homemade mozzarella cheese and homegrown basil for a delicious Caprese appetizer!
