Just a little joy post of some of the things I am growing on the balcony this year that are already making tiny delicious beginnings.

Please describe the flavour, since you can’t send it to us
They are purple tomatoes that have this sweet and juicy quality to them, I find them to be less acidic than many other tomatoes, there’s almost like a watermelon vibe to them. There are also hints of smokiness and a lot of umami in them, they are amazing on a sandwich.
Afaik they are one of the most popular heirloom tomatoes in the US at least. I first got them from a small farmers market type thing where I live and decided to grow them then and there because I fell for the flavor and the purple color.
I am also growing another purple tomato, a variety from Siberia that is supposedly also very hardy and delicious and does well in the climate I’m in.
They sound scrumptious. I love a hearty tomato that can stand up on its own on a crusty bread.
This definitely does that. I do just a slice of sourdough bread toasted with a spread, a big slice of the tomato and just salt and pepper.
Or a little bit of olive oil and basil if I have them.
