Keep them at room temperature, makes for a great meal with a hard french bread, butter, and a great glass of red wine.

You took some beautiful photos of them - they do look like little jewels of delicious-ness! My non-heirloom cherry tomatoes - well, about half of them don’t even make it into the house - garden snacks! The rest are used in dishes like any other tomato, such as in okra gumbo. <br /><br />I won a silent-auction bid on an heirloom cherry tomato plant a couple of weeks ago but it wasn’t labeled. They are delicious! I’m going to save some seeds for next spring. <br /> <br />Thanks Valerie for the site - I'll have to check it out. <br />(Like Valerie, I'm having trouble posting this morning).Texas Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547037404676565726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-20334055442143926422014-10-22T07:20:16.628-05:002014-10-22T07:20:16.628-05:00Check out Baker Creek Heirloom seeds!

I have the last ones which I had to pick green in September ripened on the counter. That's the last fresh ones. Others are frozen awaiting more sauce making.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992626996077874832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-80801718469132619112014-10-22T06:19:20.399-05:002014-10-22T06:19:20.399-05:00They look simply bursting with flavour and nutrien...They look simply bursting with flavour and nutrients.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-70460774763478397172014-10-21T23:16:10.227-05:002014-10-21T23:16:10.227-05:00Well use away, no problem there and thank you!

I grow both every year. Sungold is a hybrid so you can't save the seeds but you should be able to find transplants at the nursery. Green grape is also a hybrid. Buy them and plant from transplants. They are often sold as heirlooms even though they are hybrids. We eat them hot from the garden and I pop them in pasta and salads all summer. I even dehydrate them and throw them in soup and strain it to get the skins out before serving. As "cherry" type tomatoes we get more than we can eat and they cook well even though you need a lot of them to equal a large tomato.Enjoying your posts.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11159582653513181811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-87347333333664199822014-10-21T16:03:08.760-05:002014-10-21T16:03:08.760-05:00I pick them off the vine & pop them in my mout...I pick them off the vine & pop them in my mouth!!MaryJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00984014391338253732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-68175043215727233232014-10-21T14:27:39.458-05:002014-10-21T14:27:39.458-05:00Save some of the seeds from each one!
