As you can see, most of his tomatoes are growing in burlap bags filled with compost. All that plastic will come off before too long. It helps them stay nice and toasty during the cooler evenings. With 90 tomato plants in the ground, we've only just begun! Of course he has lots of other vegetables in his new circle garden too, but I'll tell you about those another time. This day is reserved for the very first tomato sighting. Oh happy day... and even happier days to come when we bite into that first vine ripened tomato! Yummmm

I can taste it now! I'm not a gardener. More like an eater who likes gardens because of what comes out of them. Wish I could be around when all that sliced fresh deliciousness gets lapped up with some fresh basil, cracked pepper, olive oil and feta cheese. Drool ...
Sounds totally delish! More often than not though, it's simply boatloads of juice dripping down your face and hands as you sink your teeth right into the meat of the red, ripe, roundness of it all. Aaahhh, the good life. Homegrown tomatoes!!!
