The Taste of Summer

We ate our first home grown, vine ripened, tomato of the season for lunch today. As my son said, “You can't buy that kind of taste in the store.” Tomatoes are one of my favorite fruits/vegetables; however, I've grown quite weary of those “plastic” tasting hot house tomatoes we get most of the year and the questionably ripened early season tomatoes that are shipped in from the South.

This year, with the additional fear of tainted tomatoes carrying salmonella, I've made it a point to avoid tomatoes until the two plants in our garden started producing. All I can say is, “The wait has been worth it!”
