Gem of Summer: Homegrown Tomatoes


"It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato"
-Lewis Grizzard


Its also difficult to describe how far superior fresh summer tomatoes taste than the miserable fruit that passes for tomatoes at the supermarket year round. We have been enjoying these sexy little beauties for about a month now, and I will be sad when they are gone. But let's not think about that. Now is time for celebration. And feasting. I would recommend to anyone with a patch of dirt to do yourself a favor and grow your own. It's fairly painless, and it's legal. If you don't have space, or are just too damn lazy, then seek out your green-thumbed acquaintances and mooch. You will be glad that you did.
