Tomato Harvest July 11, 2016

tomatoharvest20160711-2

I’ve been carefully slicing one tomato and sharing the slices between us as part of our dinners. We’ve been enjoying every bite.

I really think that a home-grown tomato is a completely different vegetable than what is called a tomato at the store. I use the ones from the store in the winter to add color to salads, but they just have no taste!

Today I was really lucky, having all these ripe and ready to pick. There’s also a little bitty bell pepper I’ll use in our salad. We’ll be able to splurge for several days now, having a small plate full of tomatoes each with our dinners!

It’s been really hot and extremely muggy lately, so we haven’t made any progress on installing the 3rd box in the raised garden project. I think we’ll have a couple of days of less humidity this week, so maybe we can catch up with lawn mowing, weed whacking, and get some progress made on the conversion-of-the-garden project.

I hope you have found a good way to keep cool!
