tomato cuttings
For the first time I am trying to take tomato cuttings to save the plants for next year.
As some of you might remember, I took some cuttings from my tomatoes maybe about a month ago. I often take cuttings early in the season to get more plants, and it’s super easy and quick to get the tomato to develop a root system. Just put them in a glass of water and wait about 10 days. I also did the same with a cutting from my amazing aubergine plant.
the last tomatoes of the year
Now it’s time to harvest the last tomatoes of the year.

melanzane alla parmigiana deconstructed
A version of the classic Italian dish, but without first making a tomato sauce and frying the aubergine. This is my lazy way of making melanzane alla parmigiana, but I must say it’s still super good!

tomato salad with a cold tomato broth
Another lovely tomato salad with tomatoes from the balcony. Today I mixed fresh and quickly pickled tomatoes with cucumber, Spanish chervil, nasturtiums and thinly sliced jalapeño. Then a cold tomato broth on top of everything.
we go all tomatoes tonight
Finally our first tomatoes are ready to eat! Tonight we went all in for tomatoes. First a colourful insalata caprese with mozzarella di bufala, topped with Spanish chervil, fennel dill, oxalis and herb oil. It was as good tasting as looking!
