I dedicate this blog post to my friend Carol Bednar who gave me 2 homegrown tomatoes yesterday. My neighbor across the street usually has buckets of excess tomatoes, but he hasn't offered me any this year. And I just don't buy store tomatoes because they don't taste like tomatoes. Actually, they just don't seem to have any flavor at all.
This morning I had one of the tomatoes with just a drizzle of EVOO and a sprinkle of fresh ground pepper. Divine!
Oh, my goodness it was so good. I almost ate the other tomato, but decided to save it for tomorrow so that I can anticipate the flavor for 24 hours.
I used to always grown tomatoes, but then I started traveling and it seemed that I was out-of-town when the crop was ripe, so I just stopped planting them Maybe next February I will plant one or two. One year when the weather was fine I had a plant in a cage that gave fruit for eighteen months! It was amazing, but it was on a drip line and I guess the climate was just favorable during that time.
