I just came inside from picking about 50 little yellow pear tomatoes from my over-exuberant tomato vines. Yellow pears are less acidic than normal tomatoes, small (about the size of a cherry tomato) and pear-shaped. They're absolutely gorgeous as a garnish on soups or crackers...but I'm not quite sure what to do with so many! Perhaps salsa/bruchetta?
Another unusual variety of tomato I'm growing this year is an heirloom called 'Russian Pink.' We saved the seeds from an especially yummy tomato from our farmer's market, but this is the first year I've tried to grow them. Being heirlooms they're quite fragile and difficult to transport, but rather scrumptious--at least so I've heard, personally I don't care for tomatoes.
As a side note, here's a link to the poem that inspired my blog's URL: http://www.geocities.com/thetropics/shores/5441/tiger.html
