2010 17th Annual Tomato Tasting Results
October 12, 2010 
The last of my cherry tomato crop, Sun Gold.
Sun Gold is a hybrid packed full of sweetness and flavor. My husband would take them to work to share at lunch. Every evening he’d brag to me about how much the guys love my cherry tomatoes. My tomato plant was a gift from friend and Master Gardener Colleen Machado who grows and sells mostly heirloom tomatoes. Thanks, Colleen for sharing such a sweet treasure.

In and Around the Garden 
While in Napa touring my husband’s cousin’s one acre award-winning garden we came upon his cherry tomato plant. We all popped one of the tomatoes into our mouths. It was a Sun Gold. It is SO flavorful and SO sweet. Next year I am definitely buying a Sun Gold plant!!!
