Yummm. Sounds great! We like to chop them and mix with cucumber and mozzarella cheese with Italian dressing for a side dish when its hot.

Well, I hope they gave you some good eating. Just made pizzas last night from my first rounds of Marmandes and some San Marzanos.

Hi phidauex, They're indeterminate tomatoes. They all turned bright red when ripe so don't let the "heirloom" look throw you off. The vines are still producing although very little now. It's quite hot here and the vines and leaves are brown. There are no new flowers.

Your California tomatoes hit breaker stage about two weeks before mine did in Colorado. ;) Are you trying to identify the variety? It is some sort of globe, but I can't tell beyond that. Can you tell if it is determinate or indeterminate?
