212/365: "It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato." ~ Lewis Grizzard
6 more pictures in notes above! :)
Every May, Steve and I go to the Jackson County Master Gardener's Fair, where people go to buy endless varieties of flowers and plants, and most especially, TOMATOES! By far, the most popular items sold at this huge plant sale are tomatoes...thousands upon thousands of seedlings and young plants of a dizzying variety are carted off by hordes of happy gardeners.
If you don't know much about tomatoes, it will surprise you to discover that there are more than a few types of tomatoes. In fact, there are literally HUNDREDS of varieties, and just like wine, tomatoes vary greatly in flavor and characteristics. We picked out 4 types this year: Cherokee Purple Heirloom, Black Russian Heirloom, Sweet 100 Cherry, and the amazing variety shown here, the savory, mouth-watering Green Zebra.
The Green Zebra tomato is yellow with beautiful green stripes when ripe. It's an oblong-round, 2.5" diameter tomato which has a unique, savory flavor that is slightly sweet, and will turn any sandwich into the very best you've ever had! Steve and I are CRAZY about this tomato, as it's unlike any we've ever had and we insist on growing it every year if we can find one for sale before they're all bought by rabid tomato junkies. When sun-dried, Green Zebras impart a delicious flavor to anything its added to, and provides a zing of deliciousness if popped into your mouth as a crunchy snack!
Lewis McDonald Grizzard, Jr. (October 20, 1946 – March 20, 1994) was an American writer and humorist, known for his Southern demeanor and commentary on the American South. Although he spent his early career as a newspaper sports writer and editor, becoming the sports editor of the Atlanta Journal at age 23, he is much better known for his humorous newspaper columns in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He was also a popular stand-up comedian & lecturer. Wikipedia: Lewis McDonald Grizzard, Jr.
