I’VE got a tomato farm growing down in Maryland. About 20 different heirloom varieties, maybe 50 plants and still counting.
What is it about tomatoes? I can never have enough.
I love their shapes, and colors, from the reddish-pink Brandywines with their green lumpy shoulders, to the little dark purple Black Krims and yellow and green striped Green Zebras that fit in the palm of my hand.
I love that tangy flavor. There’s nothing like a Brandywine, sliced, with a slab of fresh mozzarella and a basil leaf, dribbled with good olive oil.

tomatoes in the NY Times.
