Baby Looms

cooksomethingrva!

What a great find at the Fresh Market this afternoon… “Baby Looms”! These are miniature heirloom tomatoes, great for salads or pasta. Lots of sizes, shapes and colors. Very rich in vitamin C, low calorie, and cholesterol free!

Just a few are featured above:

Brandywine, dates back to the late 1800’s, reddish-pink skin with veins of green. Rich and succulent in texture with an old fashioned home grown taste.

Cherokee Purple, popular for over 100 years and is dark red to dark purple in color.  Smokey in taste with a bit of sweetness. Originally grown by the Cherokee Indians.

And, the Gold Medal variety.  Reddish pink and yellow marbling, very juicy and super sweet. This tomato originates from the Black Forest region of Germany.

All info on tomatoes found on thefreshmarket.com

I am starting this blog in hopes to inspire a little cooking, fresh foods eating and urban gardening in the Richmond, VA area. I fell in love with cooking a long long time ago and urban/container gardening last spring and summer when I planted my first container garden and ate the resulting bounty. I did not have the ability to plow a plot of land. I started researching container and square foot gardening. As it turns out, there are quite a few veggies and herbs the not only do well in containers but thrive. On this site I am going to provide as much info, recipes, how to’s and as many photos of our gardening, cooking, most importantly EATING and hopefully inspire you to COOK SOMETHING!! Brandy Hardy
