Edible Anomaly of the Week!

I just love fruit and vegetable anomalies! 

 I think they are worthy of our attention. Some people may think anomalies are just freaks of nature. Well, they are.  But they are also the very living, breathing fruits and vegetables that grew wild and undisturbed. They never succumbed to human regulations and modifications imposed on our primary food source. Anomalies may look funny, but are just as beautiful and fascinating (and in most cases delicious), as any perfectly round tomato!

This group of lemons together makes the perfect zing, like a jazz quartet :)

You Say Tomay-to, I Say Tomah-to....

Let's call the whole thing off....

Or, not....

Here are several little varieties of tomatoes, most of which grew completely spontaneously from organic tomato seeds that had been discarded as compost back in December. The seeds slowly gave way to seedlings, and came full circle completing a life cycle.  I am still quite amazed at what earth, sun, and water are able to accomplish together.

The purplish one is the only one that comes from a local nursery, and is an heirloom purple variety. The rest are different tomatoes of unkown names,   just waiting to burst with flavor this season!
