I Have a Garden

I picked tomatoes from the garden thursday. First one ripe enough to eat today...yum! On a salad for lunch. There is no comparison to 'store bought' ones! Funny thing, I hated them as a child. My grandfather raised many acres of them and peddled around town. I despised hearing 'mater sandwiches' announced as lunch! Mmmm...for some of Paw's tomatoes.

Already eating them? My earliest ones are about toonie-sized and green. They shall be orange, low acid ones. And the beefsteaks are behind them too.

@PoetryNEmotion yes. More for supper tonight. We are in the deep south USA so we have them start coming in right about now or before. And would have had tomatoes earlier than now if the weather had let us get the plants set out sooner. We even already have a couple of varieties of corn tasseling!

@sunni Very nice. I used to live in Texas. I miss the south. My mom was a farmer.
