This was a pitiful summer for our tomato garden. Our first batch of plants all died, suddenly. It almost looked as if we’d purposely sprayed them with an herbicide. Our livestock partner shared some of his plants so we could try again. Round two made it, but didn’t produce much fruit. All we got were some cherry tomatoes. Nothing “sliceable” for sandwiches.
A couple of the plants he gave us were supposed to yield yellow tomatoes. Never having seen a yellow tomato, we were looking forward to the experience. Once it became apparent we weren’t going to get any from our plants, he brought us some of his. First I had to get over the mindset that tomatoes aren’t supposed to be yellow. However, I quickly discovered that they are delicious!!
I want to grow them next year!

Almost every person that I know has lost their tomatoes due to 'late' blight. This has been such a wet, wet summer here.
Well, can't say I've ever tasted a yellow 'mater! Looks yummy, tho!
Looks yummy. Wish I could have tasted some before school started.
I have to ask, Kelly: do they taste like the red ones? I'm still getting cherry tomatoes and belpeppers, but that's about it. I did have my best summer ever for tomatoes, but most came from potted plants. For some reason, our soil is not wanting to grow 'maters!! In past summers I recall having so many that I ate fried green tomatoes and even put up a dozen jars of hot green tomato relish. Those days seem to be gone...I'll have to research our problem. I'll keep you posted. Blessings!!
Yellow tomatoes can be very nice. A different color and a slightly different flavor.
We had a dry summer until very recently and our tomatoes did well indeed. All red, though.
I would wedge these and fry them. Like the DELICIOUS fried green tomatoes.
Oh, I forgot. I never make them. I go to LeRoy Selmon's restaraunt and buy the extra large appetizer.
Mmmm
