Are the tomatoes . . .
Tomatoes fresh from the garden . . .
We're not vegetable gardeners at Linderhof but we do have a grape tomato plant and an heirloom tomato plant. So we can harvest tomatoes straight from our garden. Alas, sometimes, they are not enough for a meal and so we fill in any holes with tomatoes from the Farmer's Market.
A favorite way to eat the little tomatoes is halved, sprinkled with salt and pepper. A pour of olive oil, a smaller pour of balsamic vinegar and a big handful of basil leaves cut into a chiffonade.
It is summer on a plate and when the tomatoes start to really come to the garden and the Farmer's market, we have tomatoes at least twice a day and sometimes three (sauteed grape tomatoes go really well with the breakfast eggs).
Of the grape tomatoes, they are a burst of sunshine in your mouth. And are so perfect paired with garden basil.

I love tomatoes and yours look delicious!
Martha - what a beautiful series of photos! Tomatoes are a huge thing here - as I am sure you can imagine. I have never started a plant, but I know plenty of people who have them, and are very kind about sharing! :) I'll have to try this combination ... it sounds absolutely delicious!
What beautiful photos. You should submit them to Ruby Tuesday.
Looks great!
I want to try the tomatoe salad. We have 2 tomatoe plants and 2 pepper plants. That's it, but they have really given the crops.
God bless and have a wonderful rest of the summer,

Those tomatoes look scrumptious!
This coming weekend we'll be picnicking for the Symphony Splash (the Symphony Orchestra is towed on a barge into the harbour and we all sit on the grass, late into the night to listen) and the Orzo and roast veggie dish will be on the menu.
I get the best foodie ideas from your posts!
Oh my mouth is watering! I eat at least one tomato almost every day while they are in season. laurie
