August 6th, 2008 - Tomatoes!
Yesterday after dinner (eaten outside due to great weather after a hot and humid day), Maggie and I checked the garden for raspberries. We only found two–one itty bitty one and one big enough to share. Walking back through the garden, Maggie didn’t want to go out, so I pulled a few more weeds. Then, I discovered what I’ve been waiting all year for: two ripe tomatoes! They were black plums, so only 4 bites each. Maggie and I shared one and the other went into my salad this morning.
Speaking of which, is it still a lettuce salad where there are more other veggies than lettuce? Today’s contains: greens, basil, dill, summer squash, carrot, tomato, broccoli, cauliflower, onion, peas, green bean, Dragon’s Tongue bean, and flowers (3 kinds).
