Remember back in March?...

When I was so happy with the approach of spring, and how pleased I was with my tomato seedlings?

Well, those bad boys are doing some serious producing, I picked a couple dozen fruit this weekend alone.

Is there anything better than a fresh home grown tomato?

Well, maybe winning the lottery, dating Jennifer Aniston, or being Tom Brady would be better than a home grown tomato... but really, it was meant to be a rhetorical question.
