Steve they are Costeluto Fiorentino, I assume a variety from Florence in Italy. I thought they were an heirloom variety when I first grew them a few years ago, but they are fairly easily available here. I might return to growing Roma, an older plum tomato variety. Easier to slice if nothing else!!
Wow! Self sufficiency eat your heart out, what a lovely super abundance of home grown goodies. With tomatoes, I go for taste over looks every time, bet those are ruddy delish! Your photo’s have made me realise I am just paying lip service to growing, it has certainly made me get a gardening wiggle on.
Beautiful! I am so envious of your summer squash. We just can't seem to grow it here. We didn't have good luck with peas either. Thankfully our tomatoes, jalapenos, and poblano peppers are doing great.

What a wonderful harvest.
Amazing! All your hard work has paid off :)
No pumpkins here, just those splashy flowers.
What amazing abundance. Congratulations!
Bon apetit!
Looking good! Those tomatoes are more "folded" than the ones I normally see in stores. Are they an heirloom variety?

Spectacular produce, but I don't have the energy or the real estate to do what you have done. Great work, though. Congratulations!
Bounty, bounty everywhere!
