I chose this tomato plant to celebrate the fact that my family came originally from Liguria and considered themselves to be Genovese. It certainly is an odd shape. It is pear shaped but deeply ridged. This is still only thumb size, but growing rapidly. It will probably start to ripen along with the Black Cherokee Heirloom. The Brandywine still hasn't set fruit!
Tonight I will make pasta con pesto with some of my own basil, some that came in my coop box and some from plants I just bought at Trader Joe's. It will be delicious with potatoes and stringbeans also from the coop...everything but the pasta and Reggiano Parmesano comes from Lake County.
Well, the salt comes from Germany, a recent gift from traveling friends.
