The Final Crop...


 

The final harvest comes from me cutting off the stems and picking off all the remaining pear tomatoes.  I am not quite done but I think there are about a half dozen left that I will pick when I finish the job of taking the plant down.  The serving piece that I used to hold them is a "Mildred" want-a-be.  I collect Mildred patterned dishes and I bought this on a whim.  It is not a Mildred piece because of the formal trim that goes around the rim but the flowers that they are using on the sides are from the Mildred dishes.  


A real Mildred pattern has a gold trim on it.  There are only floral decorations but no Roman bands of patterns.

I have a few tomatoes, the last ones, to prepare in a salad for lunch. The table service is very beautiful.
I didn't know pear tomatoes.
