I have been watching this tomato all week, as it has gone from a blushed pink into what I think can now be called a ripe red!
This Goliath is the first of my full sized tomatoes to ripen. I snapped the photo just as the sun was coming up over the mountain this morning. I will let it ripen to perfection until evening, when it will be sliced and sprinkled with a little olive oil, garlic and basil and shared with Dear Husband.

No time is more eagerly anticipated in the garden than Tomato Season!

ReplyDeleteHello Connie,
ReplyDeleteI'll be coming back to read more and more of your great garden-blog.
This tomatoe looks out of this world. I tell you, I think toms are better than chocolate anyday, especially home grown tomatoes.

Thank you all for your comments!
ReplyDeleteI chose Goliath for my main crop tomato several years ago for 3 reasons:
1. Good taste
2. High yield
3. Blemish free fruit

HOw did the tomato taste.. Did that hot dry air improve it's taste?
ReplyDeleteAs for moving to Idaho.. Crossing fingers next year will be the lucky one!!
That's awesome. i tried about a dozen varieties this year and my Goliaths have been my most blemish free, problem free tomatoes.
