That Time of the Year
Submitted by My Garden Spot Blog
I love spring and summer. Not only is it nice and sunny and warm, the fresh vegetables and fruits are either ripe or getting ripe. I love fresh fruit, and won’t buy tomatoes from a supermarket anymore. They just aren’t the same, no indeed they are not. This is also the time of the year I cut back on any vitamins or diet supplements. With fresh fruit available, and me willing to eat it, I just need the calcium and perhaps some iron.
Summer tastes good.
So do my tomatoes!
PS: If I seem to be making rather too much about my tomatoes, please understand that the last two summers have been almost total busts for tomatoes here. Last summer was so bad, I don’t think I got any tomatoes except for a small handful of cherry tomatoes, before the vines succumbed to a bad wilt. This year, the plants are big, hale, hearty and fruitful. And I’m eating tomatoes and will be bringing my mom some for Mother’s Day on Sunday.
Life can be good when it tastes like tomatoes.
