There is nothing so wonderful as a home grown tomato! We tried something new this year and it seems to have worked beyond our wildest dreams! Always in the past we have planted the tomatoes in containers and have been lucky to get a half dozen total. This year we took out a rose bush from the back that had been damaged in the winter frost (yes, we do get frost here folks) and planted 6 plants in a much bigger area than usual. This is a haul from this morning's harvest and there will be more next week. Looks like I have plenty for all of my tomato obsessions like salsa, bruschetta, marinara sauce and then the greatest of all fresh sliced tomatoes along side perfectly grilled ears of corn. I'm going to stop complaining about the heat for awhile because without it I wouldn't have this awesome bounty!
