A Bargain at Rainbow?
Plotnik has been shopping at Rainbow Grocery for many years and never gotten a bargain. In fact, it's never been close -- Rainbow Grocery is the best health food grocery in the world, hands down, but the produce is, shall we say, precious.
That's why Plottie was so pleased to see a produce lady getting ready to dump these perfectly good heirloom tomatoes. "Would you sell them to me?" he asked, and she said. "Well, I'd have to mark them down. How about 99 cents?"
So! Plottie got nine huge heirlooms for 99 cents and he's got to admit that it almost makes the $7 for a pathetic little package of blueberries worth it.
Yes, that's Plotnik's home grown cherry tomato on the side of the Heirloom. But size ain't all that matters, boys. That cherry is sweet as sugar. Looks like gazpacho tonight.

Those are beauties, were they a little too ripe for the Rainbow Crowd or what?
Those look gorgeous - I'm with MA in not knowing what was wrong with them.
I picked a couple of large bowls of cherry tomatoes this morning and made some salsa from some of them, but cutting up cherry tomatoes for that sort of thing isn't as much fun as it sounds. (It's tasty though!)
Next year I'm growing some bigger tomatoes - the size of those that you saved from the dumpster would be perfect.
