When the Livin' is Easy
One thing that's come up that I didn't expect at all is the first ripe tomato! I have been eating lots of tuna, tomato and whole wheat sandwiches with store tomatoes, but tonight...this beauty is going to be sliced, sprinkled with EVOO and red wine vinegar, fresh basil, salt and pepper. I am then going to go to the front porch , langor in the evening tranquility and savor every piece of longings realized. This is summer, ladies and gentlemen. This is what we yearn for during the dark days of February.

One has to assume that you have a greenhouse. Any other assumtion would bring down the totality of the tomato grower's rath.
I'm still watching the buds, hoping apon hope that they will, one, bloom, and two, that they will set fruit.

The Chows gave me that hot house tomato for Mother's Day that already had blooms on it and we have a couple of good days--the fruit obviously set. I sat in the rain tonight, in my fleece with my fleece gloves eating my tomatoes. damn it's cold here; raining like hell!
"This is what we yearn for during the dark days of February."
Could not be better put. We usually grow a good assortment in our yard here in the hot Tri-Cities. This summer we are building a house, and the transition leaves us without plants for one year. Ugh.
Jealous.
hindu! oh no! no fresh tomatoes this year? You'll have to hint broadly at your neighbors. Practice those broad sighs. Contemplate, in your outloud voice, about how great your tomatoes will be next year and how great your strawberries will be too, and you'd share, if only someone would front you some tomatoes this year....
you know I THOUGHT I heard tomatoes growing somewhere!
I will just have to nick the tomatoes from me neighbours greenhouse, and remember to lob the snails over the other neighbours fence instead of the usual neighbour, cos now I have to protect 'the tomatoes' :) x
Mel! You're awesome! Our first international visitor and from Eng-er-lund! The Chows are going to be so damn excited about this....
