Tomatoes.
This time of summer they are in full swing,
producing like crazy. Paired with freshly harvested basil and garlic from the
garden, I think tonight’s dinner will be a fresh tomato sauce over capellini
and a salad of dark red “Merlot” lettuce.
Well, anyone who has grown tomatoes knows that even
the lightest of summer rains can split all of the tomatoes on the vine. They
are of course harvest-able once split if you get them immediately after but
leave them on a day or so and they will start to mold at the tear. Oh misery! Oh
groan! What’s a gardener to do?
Break out the umbrella, of course!
