Pictured above are some tasty treats from my garden. In the foreground are a couple Sun Gold cherry tomatoes, and in the back is a Sunsweet F1 cucumber. The Sunsweet was a surprise; I’d never seen one before, and at first I was sure we’d been sold some mutant seed. But they’re actually very good, once you get past their odd color and shape.
Eating the Sun Gold tomatoes is a pure joy. They have a bit of a citrus taste to them. I imagine I could go through a couple pounds of them before I even noticed what was happening.
Tonight for dinner I cut up a nice white onion, a couple of the Sun Golds, some standard cukes, and a big, beefy red tomato, and mixed it all in a bowl with some olive oil, sherry vinegar, pepper, and sea salt. Man, that stuff is good. It’s like eating spoonful after spoonful of summer.
