It seems like the tomato plants prefer the cooler autumn
days after a very hot summer during which they did not perform as well as in previous
years. I sprayed the plants with an
Epsom salt solution that seems to agree with them.
They look healthier and happier and are producing delicious
crops of multi-coloured tomatoes. The bright colours of the orange, yellow,
black and green tomatoes make for summer coloured dishes on the cooler days of
autumn.

The flavours of the tomatoes are varied and intense and I
only have to add salt, pepper and some fresh basil to really make a tomato come
to life. I can taste the individual colours of the tomatoes in the visually
pleasing starter that brightens up lunch, under the brown and bare oak tree.

I am reminded of the powerful flavours to be experienced in the home grown tomato. Simply the best.
