This cup of tea accompanied me during my 2nd round of tomato trellis tying this morning. I have 2 varieties of plum tomatoes this year: some Italian heirloom that I bought 2 of because I detest roma’s & couldn’t find my beloved favorite, & the next day I found my beloved San Marzano (another italian heirloom), so I bought 3 of them. Both are heavily weighed down with fruits, & I’m starting to pick some of the San Marzanoes! Soon I’ll have bucket loads of both, & the making of sauces, roasted toms, etc will begin!

Mmm San Marzanoes! I thought they grow only in Italy. I only buy them in cans peeled and I eat them right out of the can.
I got seeds for them at Wholefoods of all places. They are being container grown this year. I’m excited to see how they turn out.
Oh let me know, I may try next year. I can only grow it in containers because of deer.
I grow them every year, & they are wonderful!
I’ll spend the rest of the summer slow roasting batch after batch, & freezing them for winter stews. I also plan to make huge batches of spaghetti sauce, even though I don’t eat spaghetti, LOL. I put it over a bowl full of veggies, & that is satisfying.
