114. Ugly

We are growing a ton of tomatoes in the backyard. Last summer when we went to visit my aunt in Paso Robles she had tomato plants growing in old wine barrels on the back patio. The vines were absolutely loaded with grape and cherry tomatoes. My girls stood at those plants for hours eating tomatoes. We couldn't wait to plant our own this year.

A couple months ago Curtis and Abbey went to Tomato Mania at a local farm and bought 6 varieties of tomatoes. Some how we ended up with two additional plants. And after much effort and care on Curtis' part all but one vine is filled with little green tomatoes. Only a few of the cherry, grape, and roma tomatoes have turned red and we gobbled them up in seconds.

One variety of tomatoes Curtis bought out of curiosity is called Ugly - I would have bought it too. And it is truly living up to its name. My dilemma? The Ugly tomatoes are strangely beautiful and I am dying to pull all of them off the vine and photograph them.  I just can't get the angle I want with them on the vine.
