Hanna’s Tomato Tastings 2007

The time of year has arrived. I finally have a few tomatoes ripening in the garden.

One thing I can see is that even though I feel like my tomatoes are ripening later this year, by the reckoning of the blog, my tomatoes are ripening a few weeks earlier.

Tomatoes ripening means that it is time for tomato tastings. Over the next several weeks I will cover my opinions on the tomatoes in my garden. As before, I invite all the other tomato lovers in the blogosphere to join along on your blog with your own tomato tastings. Feel free to drop a link to your tastings in the comments.

Here is the list of tomatoes I am growing this year:

• Costoluto Genovese
• Isis Candy
• Carbon
• Perssimon
• Garden Peach
• God Love
• Cuostralee
• Bloody Butcher (No Fruit)
• Dona
• Golden Pearl
• Drazuba (No Fruit)
• Vintage Wine (crop failure)
• Ananas Noir
• Mirabelle Blanche
• Tonadose des Conores
• Hungarian Heart
• Paul Robeson
• Clemintine
• Rouge D’Irak (yes, that Iraq)
• Homesweet
• Mexican Honey (Too damn lazy to write up a tasting before the end of the season)

BTW, if you have an opinion about a tomato that differs from mine, please post it. Tomatoes are much like wine. Everybody likes and dislikes things for different reasons. I promise, I will not be offended if you think a tomato I like is just the worst thing you ever tried.

So let the 2007 Hanna’s Tomato Tastings begin. If you are so inclined, you can review Hanna’s Tomato Tastings 2006.
