enormous leaves

that cannot be passed by

another key west character

'i think its called an orchid tree', he said

last tomato sandwich of the season, with bacon on the side

my favorite tomato of the the season, Kellogs Breakfast....an heirloom that grows big bulbous fruit that are super meaty and delicious, great for those who like a full coverage on their tomato sandwich. a divine flavor that is equally sweet and tangy!

true love always

okay, so I am really behind on things I want to put on this blog….but the last of the tomato sandwiches must be documented here!
